vVe  have  endeavored,  in  this  work,  to  press  into  the  smallest 
compass  the  greatest  amount  of  information.  The  Dictionary 
proper  will  be  found  reliable  in  every  point.  Equal  care  has 
been  bestowed  upon  the  Spelling,  the  Denning,  and  the  Pro- 
nouncing. This  book  will  be  found  worthy  of  comparison  with 
the  most  extensive  and  expensive  Dictionaries  in  the  language. 

In  addition  to  this,  it  will  be  seen,  by  a  glance  at  the  con- 
tents, that  this  volume  contains  concise,  but  thorough,  article^ 
giving  explanations  of  many  other  useful  branches  of  human 
knowledge,  besides  the  science  of  language. 


KEY  TO  THE  PRONUNCIATION. 

The  consonants  used  in  the  Phonetic  Spelling  retain  their  name  or  ordi- 
nary unvarying  sounds,  with  the  exception  of  G.  The  same  sounds  are  al- 
ways represented  by  the  same  letters,  no  matter  hew  varied  their  actual 
spelling  in  the  language.  Vowels,  unless  marked,  retain  their  short  sounds 
as  in  lad,  led,  lid,  lot,  but,  book.  The  diphthong  au  or  aw  represents  the 
sound  of  a  as  heard  in  all;  and  au  or  ow  as  in  now,  The  syllabic  soiind  oi 
ble,  whether  terminal  or  incidental,  is  represented  by  bl,  and  the  the  termi- 
nation bly  by  ble.  The  marked  vowels  are  shown  in  the  following  line  : 

Fate,  Far,  Me,  Mine,  Mote,  Mflte,  MOOn. 

When  more  than  one  pronunciation  of  a  word  is  given,  that  which  is  placed 
irst  ia  the  moat  accepted.

HOW  TO  TRONOUCE  DIFFICULT  WORDS. 


PRINCIPLES  OF  CORRECT  PRONUNCIATION. 

Pronunciation  is  just  when  every  letter  has  its  proper  sound,  and  every 
syllable  has  its  proper  accent  or  quality.— Dr.  Jo  ,nson. 

TUB  difficulties  of  pronunciation  arise  from  the  nature  of  lan- 
guage ;  the  imperfections  of  alphabets,  and  the  ignorance,  care- 
lessness or  affectation  of  the  generality  of  speakers. 

These  difficulties  are  so  numerous  that  it  would  be  impossible 
to  notice  them  all,  even  in  the  most  cursory  manner,  in  so  small  a 
work. 

We  shall,  however,  give  a  few  general  principles  which  will  be 
found  to  embrace  almost  all  that  is  useful  in  practice. 

1.  The  ANALOGIES  of  the  language,  the  AUTHORITY  of  lexicogra- 
phers, and  above  all.  the  CUSTOM  of  the  most  correct  and  elegant 
speakers,  are  the  guides  to  which  we  must  refer  in  ail  cases  of 
difficulty.     Nor  can  these  difficulties,  in  every  case,  be  resolved  by 
such  references  ;  for  we  shall  often  find  analogy  opposed  to  anal- 
ogy, authority  to  authority,  and  custom  divided,  even  among  tin 
naost  elegant  speakers. 

2.  In  cases  in  which  custom  or  authority  is  divided,  we  should 
give  the  preference  to  the  pronunciation  which  is  most  in  accord- 
ance with  analogy.     The  word  Some,  for  instance,  should  be  pro- 
nounced rome  rather  than  room ;  and  this  is  beginning  to  be  the 
case,  though  the  latter  pronunciation  was  once  thought  "  irrevo- 
cably fixed  in  the  language." 

3.  The  three  great  and  prevailing  errors  in  pronunciation  are 
VULGARITY:  pr^ANTRY,  and  AFFECTATION.     Against  each  of  these 
faults   we  shi    '  1    be  constantly  on  our  guard;  but  most  of  all 
against  AFFECT  YTION     forr/.':  '.  y  far  the  most  odious. 

4.  The  fi."owing  excellent  observations  from  Dr.  Johnson  de- 
serve particular  attention- — 

"  Jfor   FEOXCXCIATIOX,   the  best  general  rule   is    to   consider 


354        HOW  TO  PBONOtn^C-E,  DIFFICULT  WORDS. 

those  of  the  most  elegant  speakers  who  deviate  least  from  the 
written  words.  Of  English,  as  of  all  living  tongues,  there  is  a 
double  pronunciation,  one  cursory  and  colloquial,  the  other  regu- 
lar and  solemn.  The  cursory  pronunciation  is  always  vague  and 
uncertain,  being  made  different  in  different  mouths  by  negligence, 
unskillfulness,  and  affectation.  The  solemn  pronunciation,  though 
l>y  no  means  immutable  and  permanent,  is  always  less  remote 
::.>m  the  orthography,  and  less  liable  to  capricious  innovation." 

5.  Every  word  of  two  or  more  syllables  has  in  pronunciation  a 
certain  ACCENT,  that  is,  a  peculiar  stress  or  force  laid  upon  a  par- 
ticular syllable. 

If  the  accent  in  any  word  is  misplaced,  the  pronunciation  i.» 
injured  or  destroyed.  Compare,  for  instance,  the  different  pro- 
nunciations of  refuse  and  refute;  desert'  and  des'ert;  minute  and 
minute. 

a.  Some  words,  in  addition  to  the  principal,  have  a  SECONDARY, 
or  weaker  accent ;  as  in 

Ad'verti"se,  Ab'sente"e,  Com'plaisan 't, 

Ar  'tizan',  Ben'  efac'tor,  Con 'versa'  tion. 

6.  The  general  tendency  of  our  language  is  to  accent  the  root, 
and  not  the  termination  of  a  word.     Hence  the  natural  position  of 
the  accent  in  English  words  is  in  the  first  syllable.     As  a  general 
rule,  therefore,  English  or  Saxon  words   should  have  the  accent 
on  the  first  syllable. 

This  general  rule  is  exemplified  not  only  by  the  usual  position 
(•f  the  accent  in  English  or  Saxon  words,  particularly  in  DISSYLLA- 
BLES and  TRISYLLABLES,  but  also  by  the  tendency  which  we  ob- 
serve in  our  language  to  bring  words  of  foreign  origin  under  tha 
English  or  radical  accent. 

a.  The  words  memoir,  bouquet  and  reservoir,  for  instance,  have 
been  brought  under  the  English  accent,  and  complaisant,  balcony, 
revenue,  cravat,  s-'line,  and  many  others,  are  on  the  way.  Hence 
also  the  popular  pronunciation  of  the  word  police  (namely  po-lis) ; 
and  the  colloquial,  but  now  recognized  pronunciation  of  boattwain, 
(bo  in},  cockswain  (cock  sn),  cupboard  (cupburd),  etc.  Many  foreign 
words,  however,  particularly  French,  have  struggled  successfully 
against  the  English  tendency ;  as 

Antique  Critique  Palanquin  Ravine 

Brazil  Fascine  Profile  Recitative 

Wombazin  Fatigue  Quarantine  Repartee 

Caprice  Grimace  Machine  Routine 


PKICIPLES  OF  COERECT  PKONtJNCIATION".        355 

Capuchin  Invalid  Marine  Tambourine 

Chagrin  Pelisse  Magazine  Tontine 

Chemise  Police  Mandarin  Unique 

b.  With  regard  to  words  of  Greek  or  Latin  origin,  it  may  be  laid 
down  as  a   general   rule,   that  when  they  are  adopted  whole  or 
without  change  the   accent  or   quantity  of  the  original  word  is 
usually  preserved ;  as  in 

Anath'ema          Dilem'ma  Diplo'ma  Hori'zon 

Acu'men  Bitu'men  Deco'rum  Spectator 

c.  In  many  such  words,  however,  the  English  tendency  has  pre- 
vailed ;  as  in 

Or'ator  Sen'ator  Aud'itor  Pleth'ora 

7.  This  tendency  is,  however,  counteracted  to  a  certain  extent 
by  another  natural  tendency  in  the  language.     In  words  used  as 
verbs,  the  tendency  of  the  accent  is  to  the  termination,  and  not  to 
the  root.     Hence,  in  verbs  of  two  syllables,  the  accent  is  generally 
on  the  last,  and  in  verbs  of  three  syllables,  on  the  last,  or  last  but 
one. 

a.  Hence  the  unsettled  position  of  the  accent  in  such  words  as 

Confiscate  Contemplate  Enervate 

Compensate  Demonstrate  Extirpate 

Some  authorities,  following  the  general  tendency,  place  the 
accent  on  the  first  syllable,  as  compensate;  while  others  hold  that, 
as  verbs,  it  is  better  to  accent  the  second  syllable,  as  cmnperi sate.  • 

8.  The  radical  accent  is  also  counteracted  by  the  tendency  in\ 
compound  or  derivative  words  to  follow  the  accent  of  their  prima- 
ries ;  as  in 

Admi  rer  from  admi're  Begin' ning  from  begin' 

Abet' tor      "      abet'  Common'  cement    "      common' ce 

Profess' or   "     profess'  Commit' tal  "     commit, 

Assail' able  "      assail'  Coquet' ry  "      coquet' te 

a.  In  many  cases,  however,  the  radical  or  general  tendency  of 
the  accent  has  prevailed ;  as  in 

Ad  mirable  from  admi're  Adver'tisement  from  adverti'se 

Com' parable  "      compa're  Chas'tisement       "      chasti'se 

Lam  entable    "      lament  Dis'putant  "      dispu'te 

b.  In  several  words  the  contest  is,  as  yet,  undecided ;  as  in 

Ac  ceptable  or  accept  able  Dis'putable  or  dispu 'table 

Com'mendable  or  commend' able      Con  fessor  or  confess' or 


356         HOW   TO    PRONOUNCE    DIFFICULT   WOEDS. 

9.  The  tendency  in  compound  or  derivative  words  to  preserve 
the  accent  of  their  primaries,  is  crossed  by  another  natural  ten- 
dency, namely,  the  disposition  in  compound  or  derivative  words  to 
shorten  the  long  sounds  or  syllables  of  their  primaries  :  as  in  the 
following  words  :- 

Depravity    from  deprave  Maintenance  from  maintain 

Severity          "      severe  Shepherd  "      shespherd 


Divinity 

Consolatory 

Granary 

Villainy 

Desperate 


divine  Splenetic  '  splwn 

console  Gosling  '  goose 

gram  Throttle  '  throat 

villam  Pronunciation  '  pronounce 

despair  Southerly  '  south 


10.  ACCENT,  from  its  very  nature,  must  affect  not  only  the  syl- 
lable under  it,  but  also  the  syllable  next  it;  for  in  proportion  ai 
the  one  is  dwelt  upon,  the  other  is  passed  quickly  over.     This  is 
exemplified  by  the  usual  pronunciation  of  the  unaccented  syllable 
in  the  following  words  : — 

Cab'boge  Fur'nace  Cli  mate  Cap'tam 

Courage  Menace  Curate  Fountain 

Image  Palace  Prelate  Villain 

Village  Solace  Private  Britain 

For'«i'gn  Fa'vor  Fa'mows  Car'rtage 

Forfeit  Fervor  Pious  Marriage 

Surfeit  Humor  Pompous  Parliament 

Sovereign  Labor  Monstrous  William 

In  the  preceding  words  the  unaccented  syllable  is  pronounced 
quickly  and  indistinctly ;  and  in  the  case  of  a  diphthong,  one  of 
the  vowels  is  omitted  altogether  in  the  pronunciation.  Compare, 
for  example,  the  different  sounds  of  the  termination  age  in  the 
•words  cab' bage  and  enga  ge,  p>es  age  and  preset  ge.  Compare,  also, 
the  different  pronunciations  of  the  accented  and  unaccented  sylla- 
bles in  the  following  words  : — 

Contain'  Cap'tam  Retain'  Foun'tazn 

Allay'  Sunday  Ally'  Sal'ly 

Dec«V  For'f«'t  Conceit'  Sur'f«'t 

Percme'  For'«'gn  Survey'  Sur'vey 

11.  Hence  it  is  that  such  combinations  as  ea,  ia,  ie,  eo,  io,  eout, 
tout,  following  an  accented  syllable,  are,  in  pronunciation,  usually 
drawn  into  one  sound  or  syllable,  though  composed  of  more  than 
ooe  rowel  j  as  ia

Luncheon  (lun'skun) 
Pension      (pen  shun 
Mention     (men  shun) 
Gorgeous   (gorjus*) 
Gracious     (gra  shus) 


a.  And  when  e,  3,  or  t  precedes  any  of  these  combination,  it  has, 
by  the  quickness  of  the  enunciation,  and  the  conspquent  blending 
of  its  sound  with  the  vowel,  the  force  of  sh,  as  in  the  examples  just 
given. 

b.  Hence  the  terminations  cial,  sial,  and  tial,  are  pronounced  like 
thai ;  as  in  commerce/,  controver*toJ,  and  martial. 

e.  The  terminations  ceous,  cioits,  and  tious  are  pronounced  like 
thut ;  as  in  farinaceows,  capaei'ow*,  and  contentious. 

d.  The  terminations  geous  and  gious  are  pronounced  like  jut;  as 
in  courageous  and  religiout. 

e.  The  terminations  tion  and  tion  are  pronounced  likeihun;  as 
iu  mission  and  invention  ;  but  the  termination  tion,  preceded  by  a 
vowel,  is  pronou  iced  like  zhun  ;  as  in  explo»w?iand  confusion. 

12.  The  seat  of  the  accent  will  generally  serve  as  a  guide  in  the 
pronunciation  of  final  syllables  in  ICE,  ILE,  IXE,  ISE,  and  ITE. 
When  the  i  is  accented,  it  is  long,  and  when  unaccented,  it  it, 
usually  short ;  as  in  the  following  words  : —

18.  In  such  terminations,  that  is,  final  syllables  in  ICE,  ILE,  and 
ITE,  the  » is  sometimes  long,  though  not  under  the  accent;  as  in 
the  following  words  : —

Sac  rifice  Cal'aniine  Por'cupine  Ap'petite

a.  It  should  be  observed,  however,  that  in  each  of  the  preced 
ing  words  the  i  is  evidently  under  a  secondary  accent,  and  there- 
fore inclined  to  be  long. — See  No.  5. 

14.  As   we  have  already  observed,  a  proper  accentuation  of  i 
words  is  essential  to  their  just  pronunciation ;  and  a  proper  ac- 
centuation can  only  be  acquired  by  attending  to  the  most  correct 
•peakers,  and  by  consulting  the  most  approved  Dictionaries  ;  for 
words  are  under  so  many  influences  with  regard  to  their  accent- 
nation,  that  it  is  scarcely  possible  to  lay  down  a  rule  on  the  sub- 
ject to  which  numerous  exceptions  may  not  be  found.     The  fol- 
lowing rules,  however  (in  addition  to  the  GENERAL  PRINCIPLES 
which  we  have  already  explained),  will  be  found  useful  to  the 
learner : 

15.  Words  ending  in  rial,  tial,  tial,  eian,  tian,  eient,  tient,  eeout, 
ciout,  tiout,  lion,  tion,  tiate,  have  the  accent  on  the  preceding  sylla- 
ble; as 

Provin'cial  Physi"cian          Pa'tient  Confu'sion 

Controversial     Chris'tian  Gra'cious  Muta'tion 

Substantial         An'cient  Senten'tious        Ingra'tiate 

16.  Words  ending  in  tty,  ity,  or  ical,  have  also  the  accent  on  th» 
preceding  syllable ;  as  I 

Propri'ety  Insensibil'ity       Astronom'ical      Emphat'ical 

Sati'ety  Spontane'ty        Categor'ical         Polern'ical 

17.  When  the  termination  teal  is  abbreviated  into  ie,  the  accent 
•f  the  original  word  remains ;  as 

Astronom'ic        Emphat'ic  Harmon'ic  Polem'ic 

Aiigel'ic  Fanat'ic  Mechan'ic  Specific 

18.  In  English,  as  has  been  observed,athe  favorite  accent  in  pol- 
ysyllables is  on  the  antepenult,  or  last  syllable  but  two;  but  in 
many  cases  the  accent  has  been  transferred  to  that  position  from 
the  radical  part  of  the  word,  for  the  greater  harmony  and  ease  of 
pronunciation ;  as  in 

An'gel  Angel'ical  Sa[tan  Satan'ical 

Har'mony  Harmo'nious        Sa'tire  Satir'ical 

Rbet'oric  Bhetor'ical          Vic'tory  Victo'rious 

19.  Iu  nulling  simple  words  into  a  compound,  there  is  a  ten- 


PRINCIPLES  OF  CORRECT  PRONUNCIATION.      359 

dency  to  simplify  the  compound  as  much  as  possible,  by  throwing 
the  accent  on  that  syllable  in  which  the  simple  words  unite.  Hence, 
words  with  the  following  terminations  hav«  the  accent  on  the  ante- 
penult, or  last  syllable  but  two  : — 


-eraey,  as  democ'racy 
-ferom,  as  somniferous 
-fluent,  as  circum 'fluent 
-fluoiis,  as  superfluous 
-gamy,  as  polyg'amy 
-gonal,  as  diag'onal 
-graphy,  as  geog'raphy 
-logy,  as  philol'ogy 
-loquy,  as  ventril  oquy 
-machy,  as  logom'achy 


-mathy,  as  polym'athy 
-meter,  as  barom'eter 
-nomy,  as  econ'omy 
-parottt,  as  ovip'arous 
-palhy,  as  antip'athy 
-phony,  as  eu'phony 
-strophe,  as  catas'trophe 
-tomy,  as  anat'omy 
-vommu,  as  igniy'omous 
-rormit,  as  omniv'orous 


a.  Some  words  are  differently  ACCENTED,  according  as  they  ar« 
used  as  NOUNS  or  VERBS. 

20.  Of  foreign  words  admitted  into  our  language,  particularly 
French,  there  is  usually  a  threefold  pronunciation.     1.  The  origi- 
nal or  foreign  pronunciation.     2.  The  English  pronunciation.     3. 
A  pronunciation  which  is  neither  English  nor  foreign,  but  be- 
tween the  two.     In  this  case,  the  middle  course  is  not  the  best ; 
but  it  is  perhaps  right  to  encourage  it  as  a  step  in  advance  towards 
an  honest  English  pronunciation. 

21.  Some  Greek  and  Latin  words  retain  the  pronunciation  of  * 
final,  though  in  such  a  position  in  English,  it  is  always  siLnt ;  as  in 

Acme  Catastrophe        Strophe  Cicerone 

Apostrophe         Epitome  Recipe  Finale 

Anemone  Hyperbole  Simile  Rationale 

22.  The  diphthong  au  before  n  and  another  consonant  should  be 
sounded  like  the  long  Italian  a,  as  in  far  and  father.     In  some 
words  of  this  class,  however,  it  is  pronounced,  particularly  by 
persons  who  are  ambitious  of  being  thought  to  speak  better  than 
their  neighbors,  like  aw  in  awe.     A VAUNT  and  VAUNT  are  perhaps 
the  only  words  of  this  class  which  should  be  considered  as  excep- 
tion*. 


360      BOW  TO  PROXOtfSCE  DIFFICULT  WOEDS, 


A    LIST    OF   WORDS    COMMONLY    MISPRONOUNCED   OR 
IMPERFECTLY  ARTICULATED. 

THE  article  a  is  slurred  by  most  persons,  being  mispronounced 
like  an  indistinct  ur :  a  book  is  mispronounced  ur  book.  The 
article  a  should  always  be  pronounced  distinctly,  like  a  in  repeat- 
ing the  alphabet  fast,  as  a,  b,  c,  etc.  When  emphatic,  it  shouvl 
be  pronounced  like  a  in  repeating  the  alphabet  slowly,  as  a, — b,-4 
c,  etc. 

As  should  be  pronounced  az,  not  «z: 

Avoid  a  too  broad  or  too  slender  pronunciation  of  the  vowel  a, 
in  such  words  as  command,  glass,  etc.  Some  persons  vulgarly 
pronounce  the  a  in  such  words,  as  if  it  were  written  ar,  and  others 
mince  it  so  as  t<~  rhyme  with  stand.  The  same  observation  applies 
to  the  vowel  o,  which  many  persons  pronounce  as  if  written  aw,  as 
caw'-i'e,  instead  of  cof-fe,  while  others  mince  it  into  cuf'-te. 
Equally  avoid  the  extremes  of  vulgarity  and  affectation.

Many  English  people,  especially  Londoners,  omit  the  aspirate 

net  only  at  the  beginning  of  words,  but  after  the  te,  as  in  where; 

and  in  the  middle  of  words,  as  in  forehead,  which  they  misnnr 


366       HOW  fO  PRQSOCarCE  DIFfiCULT  WOBDS. 

nounce  ior-td,  instead  of  for'-Aed ;  in  abAor,  beAold,  exhaust,  io- 
Aabit,  un-Aorse,  etc.  The  A  should  always  be  sounded,  except  in 
the  following  words,  where  it  is  silent : — Heir,  heiress,  heir-loom ; 
herb,  herbage  ;  honest,  honesty,  honestly  ;  honor,  honorable,  hon- 
orably; hospital;  hostler;  hour,  hourly;  humor,  humorist,  hu- 
morously ;  and  their  other  derivatives.  The  A  in  Aumble  was» 
formerly  silent,  but  it  is  now  aspirated.  Humble-pie  is  an  incor- 
rect spelling  of  mnble-pie,  a  pie  made  of  umbles,  a  plural  noun, 
meaning  a  deer's  entrails. 

Many  persons  not  only  omit  the  aspirate  where  it  should  be 
sounded,  but  aspirate  where  there  is  no  A,  or  where  it  should  be 
silent,  as  Aend  for  «nd,  etc. 

Be  careful  not  to  mistake  loudness  for  aspiration.  Hold  up  the 
finger  a  few  inches  from  your  mouth,  and  pronounce  any  word 
containing  the  A.  If  you  aspirate  you  will  feel  the  breath  against 
the  finger,  but  not  if  you  merely  speak  loud.

scholars,  that  a  different  accentuation  to  that  used  in  ordinary 
conversation,  and  an  over-distinctness  of  articulation,  as  the  pro- 
nouncing e-vil  for  e'vl,  dcv-il  for  dev'vl,  etc.,  should  be  adopted  in 
solemn  speech  and  Scripture  reading,  in  order  to  impart  impressive- 
ness.  True  impre&siveness  depends  upon  the  tone,  and  not  upon 
the  mere  pronunciation.  To  be  truly  impressive  you  must  be  nat- 
ural, expressive,  and  in  earnest.

which  is  heard  at  the  termination  of  words,  or  when  it  is  suc- 
ceeded by  a  consonant.  The  first  is  formed  by  jarring  the  tongue 
against  the  roof  of  the  mouth,  near  the  fore  teeth ;  and  the  second, 
by  a  vibration  of  the  lower  part  of  the  tongue,  near  the  root, 
against  the  inward  region  of  the  palate.  In  some  parts  of  Ireland, 
the  r  before  the  final  consonant,  as  in  card,  is  pronounced  with 
the  force  of  the  commencing  r,  accompanied  by  a  strong  aspira- 
tion at  the  beginning  of  the  letter ;  whereas  in  England,  and  par- 
ticularly in  London,  it  is  entirely  sunk,  and  the  word  sounds  as  if 
written  caad.  The  Scotch  frequently  give  it  with  more  roughness 
and  clearness  at  the  termination  than  at  the  beginning.  But  the 
sound  which  they  give  at  the  commencement  is  not  the  English 
terminational  sound ;  it  is  a  negligent  and  imperfect  quivering  of 
the  first  English  r.  In  such  words  as  thorn,  worm,  many  of  the 
Scotch,  as  well  as  the  Irish,  sound  the  rn  as  if  they  formed  a  sepa- 
rate syllable.  Many  persons,  from  indolence  or  inattention,  in- 
stead of  quivering  the  tip  of  the  tongue  in  this  letter,  give  it  n 
burring  sound  by  quivering* the  epiglottis.  In  looking*  into  tlio 
mouth  of  these  persons,  on  desiring  them  to  sound  r,  the  tongue 
is  seen  thrust  behind  the  lower  teeth  ;  by  causing  them  to  lift  up 
the  tongue,  balance  it  in  the  mouth,  and  then  breathe  strongly, 
they  will  frequently  at  once  give  the  true  sound  of  the  letter.  The 
difficulty  afterwards  lies  in  teaching  the  terminational  r,  which 
they  will  for  a  time  give  with  the  old  sound ;  in  such  cases  they 
should  use  the  first  r,  though  it  is  harsh,  and  soften  it  gradually.

V. 


Many  English  persons,  particularly  natives  of  London,  often 
substitute  the  sound  of  w  for  v,  and  v  for  w.  To  cure  this,  often 
repeat  a  few  words  beginning  with  or  containing  the  v,  and  bite 
the  under  lip  while  sounding  the  v,  until  the  letter  be  well  pro- 
nounced ;  then  repeat  words  beginning  with  or  containing  the  w, 
which  must  be  pronounced  by  a  pouting  out  of  the  lips,  without 
suffering  them  to  touch  the  teeth.  V  is  formed  by  pressing  the 
lower  part  of  the  upper  teeth  against  the  inside  of  the  lower  lip.

Words  ending  in  ence  and  ance. — It  is  important  to  give 
the  pure  vowel  sounds  of  short  a  and  short  e  in  words  ending  in 
ance  and  ence ;  examples,  maintenance,  surveillance,  tustenance,  confi- 
dence, Providence,  etc.  A  common  fault  in  the  United  States  is  tor 
blur  the  vowel,  and  give  it  the  half-sound  of  an  indistinct  short] 
«,  "  maintenunce,"  surveillunce,"  "  sustenunce,"  "  confidunce,"i 
"  Providunce."  The  same  remark  is  applicable  to  adjectives  end-t 
ing  in  ant  and  ent,  as  "providunt,"  "confidunt,"  instead  of  provi- 
dent, confident.  The  cultivated  speaker  may  always  be  known  by 
his  giving  attention  to  the  accurate  pronunciation  of  these  final 
syllables. 

Present  participles,  and  words  ending  in  ing.— The 
habit  of  slurring  the  terminal  g  in  present  participles  and  other 
words  ending  in  ing,  should  be  carefully  guarded  against.  Say 
"  going,"  not  "  goin'."  "  He  is  standing  there,"  not  "  he  is  stand- 
in'."  "Good-morning,"  not  "  good-mornin'."  All  the  present 
participles,  and  many  other  words  ending  in  ing,  come  within  the 
range  of  this  observation. 


3?6         HOW  TO  PRONOUNCE   DIFFICULT  WORDS. 

Words  ending  in  a. — The  proper  pronunciation  of  the  last 
syllable  in  all  words  ending  in  a,  is  as  the  a  in  father.  Two  errors 
are  of  frequent  occurrence.  One  is  to  drawl  out  the  a  aa  if  it  had 
anV  after  it.  In  this  case  the  r  is  sounded  with  more  force  than 
i.-  commonly  given  to  it  in  words  that  properly  end  in  r.  Some- 
times the  a  is  changed,  and  the  syllable  pronounced  as  if  it  ended 
in  cr.  The  other  error  is  to  pronounce  the  syllable  as  if  it  ended 
in  ie,  or  y.  "  Emma  "  is  pronounced  "  Emmy."  "  Sarah,"  "  Sary." 
The  a,  with  the  power  of  the  broad  a  in  father,  should  be  pro- 
nounced very  quickly. 

Words  ending  in  ar  and  er. — An  »rror  of  the  opposite 
character  is  committed  in  the  case  of  words  ending  in  ar  and  er. 
The  r  is  often  cut  off,  and  a  broad  sound  it  given  to  the  a,  stronger 
than  in  father,  and  often  as  strong  as  the  a  in  water.  "  Waitah,'' 
"altah,"  "rnistah,"  "watah,"  for  "waiter,"  "altar,"  "mister," 
"water."  The  r  should  always  be  heard  in  such  words. 

Cork,  fork,  curtain,  morseL — Be  careful  to  sound  the  r. 
Do  not  say  "cawk,"  "  fawk,"  "  cu'tain,"  "mo'sel." 

Car,  card,  kind,  and  other  words  beginning  with  e  or  k,  as 
well  as  many  beginning  with  g,  are  often  given  an  e  or  y  sound 
that  does  not  belong  to  them.  As"kyar,"  "kyard,"  "  kyind," 
"gyard,"  etc.,  for  car,  card,  kind,  guard,  etc. 

Harriet,  superior,  interior,  etc. — In  these  words,  and  in 
others  in  which  r  is  followed  by  a  y  hound,  we  sometimes  perceiv* 
that  it  is  omitted,  hearing  such  pronunciation  as  "ha'yet,"  "  supe'- 
yor,"  "inte'yor,"  etc.  Be  careful  to  sound  the  r 

While  r  should  always  be  sounded  when  it  occurs,  it  is  not 
trilled  or  foiled  in  the  English  as  it  is  in  other  languages,  or  as 
the  Irish  roll  it  in  their  brogue.  "  Warm  "  should  no  more  be 
pronounced  "warrum"  than  "  wawm."  "Stormy"  no  more 
"storrumy,"  than  "  stawmy." 

Words  and  syllables  containing  ow  and  ou. — Avoid 
the  sharp  nasal  pronunciation  of  "  how,"  "  cow,"  "  confound,"  and 
other  words  containing  the  oio  sound;  as  l'heow,"  or  "h'yow," 
"keow,"  "confeound."  The  sound  of  this  diphthong  should  be 
formed  deep  in  the  chest,  and  should  be  pure  and  rotund. 

U  in  tune,  mute,  etc. — The  «  in  tune,  mute,  etc.,  has  a  pecu- 
liar sound,  which  cannot  be  represented  by  any  other  letter,  or  by 
any  combination  of  letters.  It  must  be  heard.  Some  persons  err 
by  sounding  it  like  vo.  Maying  ••  toon,"  "dook,"  J'dooty,"for  "tune," 


*'  duke,"  "  duty.'1  Others  make  it  excessively  sharp,  as  if  it  had  a 
dj  sound  before  it.  They  say  "  tjewn,"  "  djewk,"  "  djewty."  Tlie 
correct  sound  must  be  heard,  carefully  observed,  and  copied. 

Do,  to,  have  also  a  peculiar  sound,  which  cannot  be  represent- 
ed. It  is  alike  distinct  from  the  sound  of  '•  too,"  and  from  that 
of  "  dew.'1  This  sound  also  must  be  heard,  then  followed. 

Boot,  shoot. — Do  not  pronounce  them  "  bute,"  "  shute." 

Butcher. — Another  difficult  u  sound  is  that  in  butcher.    It  oc-,' 
curs  i:i  but  few,  if  any,  other  words.     Some  pronounce  it  "  booch- ' 
er;"  that  is  a  word  of  very  different  sound.     The  u  is  formed 
deep  ia  the  chest,  and  is  made  very  short. 

Either,  neither. — A  fashion  sprung  up  in  England  a  few 
years  ago,  of  giving  to  ei  in  these  words  the  long  sound  of  *',  as  in 
eye.  It  has  been  extensively  copied  in  the  United  States  by  cler- 
gymen and  others  who  pride  themselves  on  precision  in  speech. 
The  proper  pronunciation  is  with  ei  as  e  long,  as  in  receive,  grief. 
That  pronunciation  is  as  old  as  the  words ;  it  is  sanctioned  by  all 
lexicographers,  and  by  the  critics  who  have  written  upon  the  sub- 
ject since  the  innovation  came  into  notice. 

Greek,  Latin,  and  Scripture  Proper  Names. — There 
are  no  difficulties  as  to  the  pronunciation  of  these,  since  they  are, 
most  of  them,  so  much  used  in  modern  speech,  as  to  have  long 
ago  adapted  themselves  to  the  ordinary  rules  of  English  pronun- 
ciation. The  foregoing  rules,  therefore,  whan  applicable  to  this 
class  of  words,  are  to  have  full  force ;  and  the  only  particular 
which  requires  notice  here  is  as  to  their  division  into  syllables. 
It  is  evident  that  unless  we  divide  words  properly  we  must  mar 
the  pronunciation.  Thus  Ca-to  may,  by  improper  division,  be  pro- 
nounced Cat-o ;  and  a  similar  error  may  convert  Mi-das  into  Mid- 
as,  So-lon  into  Sol-on,  and  so  on,  to  the  destruction  of  all  that  is 
sacred  in  the  mechanism  of  ancient  literature.  Reference  to 
"  Webster  "  will  give  the  accent  of  all  classic  names,  and  likewise 
the  proper  mode  of  dividing  them  for  purposes  of  pronunciation. 
Usually  the  words  have  a  full  sound.  The  accent  generally  falls 
late  in  the  word,  and  i,  e,  and  o,  especially,  are  used  as  long 
vowels. 

The  diphthongs  se  and  oe,  which  are  found  only  in  classic  words, 
are  l»  have  the  sound  of  e.  as  described  in  connection  with  the 
digraphs  ;  at  is  to  bo  sounded  as  our  alphabetical  a,  and  ci  unlike 


37  HOW  TO   PKCXNOUNCE   DIFFICULT  WOEbS. 

the  sound  of  it  in  ordinary  English  e,  must,  in  classic  words,  have 
the  sound  of  t. 

C  and  g,  before  «,  f,  y,  a,  cs,  must  Lave  their  soft  sounds.  like  s 
and  /;  but  ch  in  Greek  words  is  always  sounded  k,  and  in  Scrip- 
ture names  also,  though  with  one  or  two  exceptions.  Ph  has  thc> 
same  sound  as  in  English,  namely,  f ;  while  cn,ct,  gn,  mn,f/n,  ps,pt. 
ohth,  tin,  and  other  similar  combinations,  when  they  occur  at  the 
commencement  of  words,  drop  their  first  letter  in  the  pronun* 
•ciation. 

In  all  classic  names  the  seat  of  accent  is  the  important  matter ; 
this,  with  a  few  exceptions,  is  always  on  the  last  syllable  but  one, 
or  on  the  last  but  two 

The  termination  es,  in  Greek  proper  names,  should  have  a  dis- 
tinct utterance,  and  by  giving  it  this,  the  accent  will  indicate  itself 
to  both  ear  and  tongue.  For  instance,  we  once  heard  an  incipient 
orator  pronounce  Hippocrates,  Hip'-po-crah'-tes,  and  Socrates, 
So-kraytes.  Had  the  learned  gentleman  ever  struggled  for  a 
scholarship,  or  passed  through  the  tortures  of  matriculation,  ne 
would  have  known  that  es  was  not  to  be  so  trifled  with,  but  would 
have  given  the  termination  its  importance,  thus — Hip-pock-ra-tees 
Sock-ra-tees.  I  should  not  have  called  attention  to  this  subject, 
from  a  belief  that  the  veriest  tyro  in  book  knowledge  would  be 
well  aware  of  the  necessity  of  giving  es  its  due  in  classic  proper 
names,  had  I  not  observed  the  deficiency,  even  in  public  speakers. 
The  following  instances  will  suffice  to  place  the  reader  on  his 
guard,  and  serve  as  keys  to  the  pronunciation  of  names  having 
this  termination — Pericles,  Perry-klees;  Socrates,  Sock' -ra- tees' ; 
Thucydides,  Thu-sid'-i-dees';  P-raxitiles,  Pracks-it'-i-lees  ;  Harmoni- 
des,  Har-mon'-i-dees' ;  Simonides,  Sigh-mon'-i-dees'. 

Foreign  Names  of  Persons  and  Places. — Continental 
languages  have  an  almost  uniform  alphabet,  and  the  sounds  of  the 
vowels  are  as  nearly  as  possible  identical  in  each  separate  tongue. 
A  is  usually  sounded  like  our  a  in  ah,  or  the  second  a  in  afar.  It 
has,  however,  its  sound  of  a  as  in  may,  in  all  continental  languages, 
but  this  sound  occurs  very  seldom.  E  has  the  sound  usually  of  a 
in  way,  and 'sometimes  a  shortened  sound,  approaching  to  er,  made 
by  curling  over  and  pressing  the  tongue  against  the  lower  palate, 
at  the  same  time  breathing  outward.  The  vowel  i  has  almost  in- 
variably the  sound  of  e  ;  o  maintains  its  English  sound  of  o,  as  in 
•r,  but  has  occasionally  the  sound  of  oo;  in  Italian  it  has  the  dis- 


WORDS   MISPRONOUNCED.  379 

tlnct  sounds  of  o  as  in  so,  and  aw  in  saw.  The  u  in  French  has  a 
delicate  sound,  the  lips  being  compressed  ;  but  in  Italian  it  inva- 
riably bears  the  full  sound  of  oo;  as,  Luisa,  -pronounced  Loo-e-zah. 

With  respect  to  the  consonants,  their  sound,  generally  speaking, 
is  the  same  in  all  European  languages,  and  little  hazard  will  be 
incurred  by  adhering  in  this  respect  to  English  custom.  Among 
the  exceptions  is  th,  which,  on  the  Continent,  is  usually  sounded- 
as  t  simply.  Thus  the  French  name  BerthoUet  is  sounded  Dare'* 
tol-lay'.  X  is  often  sounded  as  a,  or  ce,  as  in  Aix-la-chapelle) 
Ace'-la-sha-pel.  The  French  nasal  sound  of  n  it  is  sometimes 
proper  to  retain,  as  in  Nantes,  Nongt,  the  Simplon,  Sang'-plong ; 
and  sometintes  to  sink  the  nasal  sound,  as  in  Lyons,  Orleans,  which 
two  words,  and  many  others,  easily  receive  a  purely  English  pro- 
nunciation. It  must  be  confessed  that  this  point  is  ve^j"  doubtful, 
as  in  the  word  Ghent,  which  some  call  Gongt,  and  others  Guent. 
Similar  remarks  apply  to  Caen  (the  place  in  Normandy),  which 
some  call  Gang,  and  others  Ca-en.  The  last  syllable  in  JElboeuf, 
has  its  diphthong  sounded  with  a  medium  between  the  English  u 
in  buff,  and  the  oo  in  roof.  If  the  reader  will  curl  up  the  tongue 
against  the  lower  palate,  and  the  inner  side  of  the  lower  front 
teeth,  and  breathe  outward,  this  sound  may  easily  be  produced. 
In  La  Saone,  the  oo  have  the  sound  of  long  o,  and  so  have  the 
the  eaux  in  Bordeaux ;  while  in  Bruxelles  the  x  is  sounded  as  *. 

In  Boulogne  the  concluding  sounds  are  oin,  with  a  sound  as  of 
y  consonant  added.  With  regard  to  Italian,  the  c  always  has  the 
sound  of  tch  before  e  and  i;  and  of  Jc  before  a,  o,  u,  or  any  other 
letter.  G  is  soft  before  e  and  i,  and  hard  before  all  other  letters, 
except  I  or  m.  J  always  has  the  sound  of  «  or  y;  Ajaccio  is  pro- 
nounced A-yat-che-o.  G  before  1  or  n  takes  the  sound  of  y  after 
it,  as  in  Bentivoglio,  Benli-vo-lt-yo.  In  Spanish,  the  y  is  sounded 
as  in  Italian. 

Double  consonants  in  Italian  must  always  be  both  sounded  :  as 
Machiavelli,  Ma-kee-a-vel-ee.  When  two  ffs,  or  two  c»  come  to- 
gether, the  first  always  alters  the  sound  of  the  second :  thus  Guic- 
ciardini  is  pronounced  Gwitch-tche-ar-de-ne.  In  this  beautiful 
language  there  are  no  diphthongs.  Every  vowel  has  its  own  clear 
Bound,  however  many  may  occur  together,  as  calzolaio  is  cal-tzo- 
xah-eo.  The  only  approach  to  a  diphthong  which  this  languag* 
contains  is  in  do  and  gia.

often  in  newspaper  reading,  they  mingle  so  much  in  our  every-day 
conversation,  that  we  feel  it  a  duty  to  offer  a  few  plain  instruc- 
tions on  this  head. 

There  are  some  few  sounds  so  common  to  the  French,  that  every 
one  not  acquainted  with  the  language  should  at  least  "know  the 
correct  utterance  of  these  few.  The  article  le  (the)  is  pronounced 
Iff  ;  the  article  la  (the)  lah;  and  the  indefinite  articles  ttn  and  une, 
'as  nearly  as  possible  as  they  are  written.  The  plural  let  is  pro- 
nounced lay  before  a  consonant,  and  lays  before  a  vowel.  lie  (of) 
is  pronounced  der ;  and  des,  day  before  a  consonant,  and  days  be- 
fore a  vowel. 

We  have  already  given,  in  the  above  quotations,  a  sufficiently 
clear  account  of  the  sound  of  the  French  vowels.  There  are,  how- 
ever, a  few  combinations  that  require  notice.  The  most  impor- 
tant of  these  is  oi,  as  in  nun,  me,  pronounced  mtcor ;  moucko'r, 
handkerchief,  mottschtcor ;  Vive  le  Roi,  Veev  ler  Jticor,  long  live  the 
King.  » 

Another  important  compound  is  au,  which  has  the  sound  of  o  ; 
or  when  united  to  x,  and  followed  by  a  vowel,  ose.  The  e  having 
the  sound  of  our'a,  and  m  and  n  having  a  nasal  twang,  causes  the 
pronunciation  of  some  words  to  be  very  difficult  to  a  novice ; 
for  instance,  the  M.  Druon  de  L'huys  will  be  pronounced  Mong- 
senur  Droo-on»  der  Lwees.  In  addressing  titled  personages  the 
French  say  Monseigneur,  instead  of  the  ordinary  Monsieur ;  the 
latter  is  pronounced  short  Mongsur,  and  so  much  abbreviated  by 
the  tongue  and  rapidity  of  utterance,  that  it  is  almost  impossi- 
ble to  place  the  sound  on  paper.  The  nasal  sound  must,  how- 
ever, not  pass  through  the  nose,  but  rest  in  it ;  and  the  g  must  not 
'/be  fully  uttered. 

In  verbs  of  the  third  person  plural,  the  ent  with  which  they  usu- 
ally terminate  is  always  mute.  The  consonant  r  must  be  trilled 
freely  at  all  times. 

In  sounding  u  or  eu,  the  mouth  should  be  contracted  as  if  for 
whistling,  so  as  to  accomplish  a  sound  between  our  u  and  oo. 
Thus  Monifcur  is  pronounced,  as  nearly  as  possible,  mon-e-tur, 
amateur,  generally  pronounced  am-a-tew-er,  should  be  am-a-tur. 
Where  ai  occurs  as  a  compound  vowel,  i  has  the  sound  of  our  a, 
with  a  minute  dash  of  »  in  it — so  minute,  however,  as  to  be  but 
scarcely  perceptible. 

Terminal   consonants   are   usually  mute;  as,  for  instance,   St. 


WORDS   MISPRONOUNCED.  381 

Arnaud  is  pronounced  Sannarno — Charngarnicr,  Shattgarneay — > 
Anglais,  JLur.glay — Canrobcrt,  Kangnoarc — Pellissier,  Pel-leect-ce-ay^ 
etc.  When  the  article  le  or  la  ij  abbreviated,  as  it  always  is  be- 
fore a  vowel  or  silent  h,  it  combines  with  the  word  to  which  it  is 
attached,  thus  V Emperor — the  emperor — is  pronounced  laungp'rer. 
French  words  have  no  decided  accent ;  and  where  the  reader  is  at 
a  loss,  he  must  give  the  accent  as  if  it  were  an  English  word. 

Italian  Names. — The  Italian  language  is  the  most  musical 
of  any  in  the  world.  It  is  like  the  f  o;ig  of  the  nightingale  ren- 
dered into  syllables.  Hence  it  is  easy  of  utterance  :  there  are 
no  harsh  gutturals,  such  as  perplex  us  in  German  and  Dutch,  and 
which  hare  been  humorously  described  as  compounded  of  a  cough, 
a  sneeze,  a  hiccough,  and  a  husk  of  barley  in  the  throat.  The 
vowel  a  has  two  sounds,  one  of  which,  at  the  end  of  words,  is 
sharp,  and  the  vowel  *'  the  full  sound  of  the  English  e.  The  Italian 
vowels  are  said  to  represent  the  seven  notes  in  music,  a,  a,  e,  i,  o, 
6,  u,  having  the  graduations  of  do,  re,  mi,  fa,  sul,  la,  ci.  The  con- 
sonant-compounds are  not  difficult;  zz  has  the  sound  of  fe,  and 
serves  to  break  the  syllables,  as  in  Alazzini,  pronounced  Mat-zee- 
ne ;  Peitalozzi,  Pes'-ta-lot-ze.  In  a  general  sense,  the  correct  pro- 
nunciation of  Italian  names  is  very  easy,  the  great  point  being  to 
give  the  syllables,  vowels,  and  double  consonants  their  full  music 
and  distinctness. 

German  Names. — The  pronunciation  of  German  is  exceed- 
ingly simple.  "  The  rule  is,"  says  Mr.  Lebahn,  "  to  speak  it  as  it 
is  written,  and  to  write  as  it  is  spoken."  The  sounds  are  mostly 
the  same  as  the  French,  though  their  uses  and  combinations  vary. 
The  frequent  occurrence  of  the  long  vowel,  as  ii,  6,  u,  is  a  striking 
peculiarity.  "When  a  occurs  long,  with  the  dierassis,  its  sound  is 
the  same  as  our  a  in  hay.  Otherwise  the  sound  of  a  in  German  is 
broad,  like  our  a  in  cart.  The  0,  when  so  made  long,  has  just  the 
Bame  sound  as  our  u  in  purse ;  hence,  Carl  Theodor  Korner  is  pro- 
nounced Carl  Ta-o-dor  Kur-ner ;  th,  as  before  explained,  being 
equivalent  to  t  in  English.  How  many  thousand  blunders  have 
been  made  over  those  well-known  names,  Schiller  and  Goethe, 
names,  of  all  others,  most  easily  pronounced  when  the  rule  is 
once  made  plain.  We  have  heard  the  first  converted  into  Skiller, 
and  the  second  into  Gurthey,  Go-e-the,  and  Goat.  The  ce  is 
equivalent  to  6,  and  hence,  if  we  proceed  in  the  same  way  as  in 
the  KOrner,  we  shall  have  Gur-e-tay,  a  very  slight  trill  of  the  t 


-32         HOW   TO   PEON  OUNCE   DIFFICULT  WOEDS. 

giving  it  the  roughness  with  which  a  German  utters  such  word*. 
Schiller  is  pronounced  exactly  as  it  is  written,  and  sch  has  always 
a  soft  sound,  exactly  the  same  as  in  English.  Ng  has  the  sound 
of  nk,  and  M  generally  that  of  oo.  The  consonant  v  is  equivalent 
to  f,  and  w  to  v,  while  j  is  used  precisely  as  we  use  y  when  a 
consonant. 

The  great  terror  of  all  Americans,  however,  is  the  German  ch. 
Irhis  is  described  by  Mr.  Smart  as  being  sounded  in  the  same  way 
as  the  English  k.  This  is  an  error ;  for  although  those  who  can- 
not easily  accomplish  it  may  fall  back  on  k,  yet  the  German  sound 
of  ch  has  but  little  resemblance  to  k  in  English.  Mr.  Lebahn  pro- 
poses not  to  consider  ch  "  as  a  letter  at  all,  but  merely  as  a  loud 
breathing."  However  bold  this  assertion  may  appear,  still,  fre- 
quent trials  have  proved  its  accuracy.  "  For  Instance,  if  you  are 
to  pronounce  ich,  pronounce  the  i  with  the  short  sound  of  ef.  then 
push  a  loud  breath  through  the  upper  teeth,  but  be  not  con- 
founded by  the  c  or  ch,  which  is  not  to  be  considered  at  all,  nor 
is  the  breath  to  be  interrupted,  but  joined  to  the  ee,  and  ich  will 
be  correctly  pronounced."  We  advise  the  reader  to  practice  this, 
as  ch  occurs  so  frequently  in  German  names  and  in  ordinary  news- 
paper reading,  that  to  slur  it  over,  or  halt  before  the  word,  has 
an  illiterate  appearance,  and  greatly  reduces  the  pleasure  of  read- 
ing and  conversation.  The  vowel  compounds  ie  and  ei  are  sounded 
respectively  like  e  in  bee,  and  like  y  in  my.  The  second  vowel  of 
the  two  has  its  full  English  sound,  the  other  remaining  mute. 
The  vowel  combination  eu  or  aeu  has  the  sound  of  of  in  oil,  and 
of  a  broad,  has  a  slight  sound,  but  scarcely  so  much  as  to  give  it 
the  character  of  a  syllable.  Au  has  always  the  sound  of  ow. 

Dutch  Names  come  within  the  scope  of  what  has  been  said  as  to 
German  names,  though  with  a  few  exceptions  ;  uy  has  the  sound 
of  oo,  as  Zuy-der-zee,  pronounced  Zoo-der-zee  ;  the  consonant  t  be- 
comes d  in  sound,  and  ch  is  the  same  guttural  aspirate  as  in  the 
German. 

Danish,  Swedish,  and  Norwegian  come  within  the  rules  first  laid 
down.

Continue  on. — "  He  continued  on  thus."  Say  "  he  continued 
thus."  Omit  on  also  in  such  expressions  as  "  he  continued  on  las 
journey."  But  it  is  proper  to  use  on  in  such  expressions  as  "  he

first  of,  last  of.  all. 

Prom  hence,  from  thence,  from  whence. — Hence  is 
equivalent  to  from  here;  thence  to  from  there;  whence  to  from  where. 
Hence  using/,  om  with  either  of  these  words  is  equivalent  to  using 
it  twice  wjien  it  is  wanted  but  once. 

Funeral  Obsequies.— ''After  the  funeral  obsequies  were  per-

Go  fetch. — '-Go  fetch  me  my  riding  whip."     Say  "  fetch  it,"  or

Have  got. — "  John  has  got  a  sorrel  horse."  Say  "  John  has  a 
sorrel  horse."  Have  yijinifies  to  be  in  possession  of  anything.  Get

walk."  Say  "we  took  a  walk." 

Throughout  the  Whole. — "  They  sought  him  throughout  the 
whole  country."  Omit  the  whole.  The  idea  of  the  whole  is  embodied 
in  throughout.  "They  sought  him  through  the  whole  country," 
using  through  instead  of  throughout  is  also  correct. 

Double  negatives. — Two  negatives  used  in  the  same  clause 
contradict  each  other,  and  give  the  sense  of  an  affirmative.  Yet 
nothing  is  more  common  than  to  use  two  negatives  in  this  way. 

"  I  did  not  do  nothing"  or  "  I  didn't  do  nothing,"  means  that  "  I 
did  something."  Say  instead,  "I  did  nothing,"  or  "I  didn't  do 
anything." 

"  I  have  not  but  one."     Say  C'I  have  but  one."

Aggravate. — "  His  indifference  aggravates  me."  Say  "  dis- 
pleases me,"  "irritates  me,"  or  "makes  me  angry."  But  if  the 
displeasure  already  exists,  his  indifference  may  aggravate  it,  that 
is,  increase  it,  or  make  it  heavier. 

Almost  with  a  negative — "  They  pay  almost  no  rent." 
Say  "they  pay  scarcely  any  rent,"  or  hardly  any  rent."  The 
thought  of  "  almost  nothing  "  is  ridiculous. 

Alternative. — "  You  may  take  either  alternative."  Say  "  you 
may  take  the  alternative  of  either."  Alternative  relates  to  the 
choice  of  things,  rather  than  to  the  things  themselves. 

Balance. — "  You  may  pay  me  five  hundred  dollars  down,  and 
the  balance  in  a  year."  "I  cut  part  of  my  hay  yesterday,  and  shall

ject.

Sherman."  Say ''changes  to  be  made,"  <:a  subscription  was 
commenced,"  "  started,"  "  opened,"  or  "  begun."  Inaugurate 
means  to  induct  into  office  under  solemn  ceremonies.  The  Presi-

The  arm  is  a  limb,  as  well  as  the  leg.  The  foolish  shame  which

is  better  to  say  "upwards  of  300  persons,"  or  ''more  than  three 
hundred  persons." 

Over  a  bridge. — "  He  went  over  the  bridge."  It  is  more  ex- 
act to  say,  "he  went  across  the  bridge."  A  bird  may  fly  over  a 
bridge,  if  it  does  not  touch  the  bridge. 

Partial — Partially.—"  This  view  is  partially  correct."  Say 
"  partly  correct,"  or  "  in  part  correct  "  is  better.  Partially  means, 
properly,  one  sided,  with  bias.

1  Section. — "  Mr.  Smith  does  not  live  in  this  section."  Say  "  in 
this  neighborhood,"  "vicinity,"  or  "  part  of  the  country."  A  sec- 
tion, in  geography,  is  one  square  mile,  or  640  acres  of  land,  which 
has  been  laid  out  by  the  government  surveyors,  and  called  "  Sec- 
tion No. ."  The  use  of  the  word  as  a  term  of  place  in  any 

other  sense  is  improper.

security."

and  the  Mutuals  transpired  yesterday."    Say  "  took  place."    News  \ 
or  a  secret  may  transpire,  an  event  cannot.     The  word  means  to  I 
breathe  through,  to  leak  out,  and  can   be  correctly  used  only  when 
such  a  construction  can  be  put  upon  it.     "  What  took  place  at  the 
cabinet  meeting  yesterday" — that  is,  news,  report,  or  knowledge 
of  what  took  place — "has  not  transpired,"  is  correct.

Undeniable. — "  Mr.  Jones  is  aperson  of  undeniable  character."

that  cannot  be  denied.  It  may  be  good  or  bad,  but  whichever  it 
is,  there  can  be  no  dispute  about  it.  An  unexceptionable  character 
is  one  to  which  no  exception  can  be  taken. 

Existing  truths. — Matters  that  are  as  true  now  as  at  the 
time  spoken  of,  should  ^be  stated  in  the  present  tense,  no  matter 
what  may  be  the  tense  of  the  context.     "  His  text  was.  that  '  God 
was  love,'  "  should  be  "His  text  was,  '  God  is  love.'  "    "  The  truth 
was,  that  John  struck  him  first."     Say  "  the  truth  is,  that  John 
struck  him  first."     "  I  told  him  that  the  Mississippi   ran  south-  , 
wardly."    Say  "  runs  southwardly."    "  Did  you  tell  him  you  were

of  the  Nile."     Say  "  that  the  great  pyramid  stands."

•would  be  correct. 

Adverb  with  the  infinitive. — "  Teach  scholars  to  carefully 
scrutinize  the  sentiments  advanced  in  all  the  books  they,  read.*

sive sense.  "The  cloth  tears  too  easily;"  "Mahogany  planes 
smoothe  ;"  "  These  lines  read  well."  Sometimes  an  intransitive 
frerb  takes  a  kindred  noun  as  an  object.  "  He  lived  a  virtuous 
life  ;"  "  This  dream  which  I  (Pharaoh)  have  dreamed." 

W^ords  like  scissors,  snuffers,  tongs,  trousers,  etc.,  denoting  arti- 
cles which  are  paired  or  coupled,  are  plural,  and  take  a  plural

tic.

Say  "I  have  no  doubt  that,"  etc.  "I  doubt  not  but  I  shall  be 
able."  Say  "  I  doubt  not  that  I  shall  be  able."  Some  writers 
have  a  habit  of  omitting  the  conjunction  altogether,  saying,  "I 
doubt  not  I  shall  be  able."  This  is  a  slipshod  style. 

If  that. — "  If  that  I  had  offended  him."     Omit  that.

will  succeed."  Say  "  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  he  will  succeed," 
or,  "there  is  no  doubt  of  his  success." 

Not  impossible  but. — "  It  is  not  impossible  but  I  may  go 
with  you."  Here  are  two  errors.  That  should  be  used  instead  of 
but.  In  "not  impossible,"  two  words  are  used  to  express  what 
one  word  expresses  better.  By  this  one  of  the  words  is  made  to 
kill  the  force  of  the  other.  Say  "  it  is  possible  that  I  shall  go  with 
you,"  or  it  is  probable,"  or  "possibly  I  shall  go  with  you." 

Confi.de. — "  He  is  a  man  on  whom  you  can  confide."  Say  "  in

tion of  ill  health,  means  literally  that  he  is  troubled  with  a  sense

the  aggrieved  person  in  a  carriage,  who  was  stopped,  by  a  pro- 
cession, and  said  "  the  street  cars  have  as  much  right  to  be  stopped 
as  the  carriages,"  meant  that  they  ought  to  be  as  liable  to  be 
stopped,  or  that  <;  the  carriages  have  as  much  right  to  go  on  as 
the  street  cars." 

Wero  accustomed  to  be  made. — There  are  a  variety  of 
errors  of  similar  form  to  this  and  frequent  in  occurrence.  In  a 
report  of  a  sermon  by  an  eminent  divine,  we  have,  "  The  repre- 
sentations that  were  accustomed  to  be  made."  He  should  hav« 
said  "  representations  that  were  ordinarily  made,"  or  that  "  it  waa 
the  custom  to  make." 

Was  attempted  to  be. — A  newspaper  paragraph  had,  "  the 
government  was  attempted  to  be  attacked,"  for  "  an  attempt  was 
made  to  attack  and  government."  Carlyle  commits  tho  same 
error,  saying  ''weights  and  measures  were  attempted  to  be 
changed." 

Bills  are  requested. — "  Bills  are  requested  to  be  paid  quar- 
terly." It  is  hard  enough  to  make  the  persons  who  owe  the  bills 
pay  them  when  they  are  requested  to.  Say  "  it  is  requested  that 


INACCTJKATE  TEEMS  A2TD   EXPRESSION, 


bills  be  paid  quarterly,"  or  better,  "payment  of  bills  is 
or  expected,  quarterly." 

Wot  requested  to,  for  requested  not  to.  Requests  hsre  beett 
sometimes  made  in  a  left-handed  manner,  as  follows  :  "  Passengers 
are  not  requested  to  stand  on  the  gangway."  Say  "  passengers 
are  requested  not  to  stand,"  etc. 

Means  is  either  singular  or  plural,  according  to  the  sense  of 
the  sentence.  "  By  this  means  they  bear  witr/vss  to  each  other,"— 
provided  a  single  matter  of  testimony  is  referred  to.  To  employ 
mean  for  the  singular  is  incorrect. 

One  of  the  family.  —  '•'  Wanted,  two  aporenticep,  who  wil) 
be  treated  as  one  of  the  family."  Say  "  will  be  treated  as  mem- 
bers of  the  family." 

All  ages  and  both  sexes.  —  Do  not  say  "  persons  of  all  ages 
and  sexes  participated  in  the  proceedings,"  but,  "  persons  of  all 
ages  and  both  sexes  participated  in  the  proceedings.7'  There  are 
but  two  sexes. 

TOOth-ache,  etc.  —  Say  tooth-achr,  white-toothed,  calves-  foot 
jelly,  and  not  —  imagining  that  the  words  must  be  plural  in  f^nn  — 
teeth-ache,  white-teetlied,  calves-feet  jelly. 

Mr.  Pecksniff  and  Wile.  —  A  person  travelling  -with  his  wife 
in  registering  at  the  hotels  should  write,  "  Mr.  Pecksniff  an<? 
wife,"  not  "  Mr.  Pecksniff  and  lady,"  as  is  too  often  written.  The 
wife  has  a  right  to  her  true  title  and  dignity  in  all  places  and  on 
all  occasions.  One  may  travel  with  a  lady  who  is  not  his  wife. 
Ooe  who  travels  with  his  wife  and  respects  her  as  he  should, 
should  leave  no  room  for  doubts. 

Gentleman  friend,  lady  friend.  —  Instead  of  "my  gentle- 
man friend,"  say  "  my  frienl  Mr.  Handy.'1  Instead  of  "my  lady 
friend,"  say  "  my  friend  Miss  Smith,  or  Mrs.  Crooks." 

Old  Gentleman,  Old  lady.—  The  terms  old  man,  old  woman, 
though  there  is  nothing  essentially  wrong  in  them,  have  come  to 
be  considered  vulgar  and  disrespectful.  Almost  universal  usage 
is  against  employing  them,  and  favors  old  gentleman,  oldlady.  These 
are  therefore  the  correct  terms. 

Such  expressions  a*,  "  I  do  not  like  too  much  sugar,"  "  I 
do  not  want  to  walk  too  far."  are  indefinite.  They  mean,  "  I  do 
not  like  more  sugar  than  I  like,"  "  I  do  not  want  to  walk  further 
than  I  like." 

Brilliant,  magnificent,  splendid,  are  too  often  used  ia 


428  SLANG  AND   VULGAR  PHRASES. 

connection  with  objects  which  have  none  of  those  qualities.  That 
is  brilliant  which  glitters  and  sparkles  in  the  li^ht.  That  is  gplendld 
which  shines,  whether  by  its  own  or  reflected  light.  That  is 
magnificent  which  makes  a  grand  appearance.  It  may  be  splendid 
and  brilliant  too.  What  does  not  sparkle  cannot  be  brilliant,  ex- 
cept figuratively  ;  what  does  not  shine  cannot  be  splendid ;  what 
does  not  impose  by  grandeur  cannot  be  magnificent.  There  are 
numerous  words  which  may  be  employed  with  exact  application 
in  the  cases  in  which  these  words  are  improperly  used.  Pretty, 
handsome,  beautiful,  elegant,  will  answer  for  most  purposes.  When 
such  words — the  proper  ones — are  used,  they  leave  the  stronger 
words  with  their  full  force  to  characterize  objects  which  having 
extraordinary  qualities,  require  more  than  ordinary  words  of  des» 
cription. 

Charming,  enchanting,  fascinating,  and  many  other 
words  are  similarly  misused.  That  is  charming  which  charms ; 
that  is  enchanting  which  enchants;  that  is  fascinating  which  fascin- 
ates. Each  of  the  terms  indicates  the  possession  or  exercise  by 
the  object  spoken  of,  of  qualities  which  deprive  one  of  control  of 
himself.

DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 


433 


DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 

e*,  In  the  course  of  human  events,  it  becomes  necessary  for  one 
people  to  dissolve  the  political  bands  which  have  connected  them  with 
another,  and  to  assume,  among  the  powers  of  the  earth,  the  separate  n;:;l 
equal  station  to  which  the  laws  of  , Mature  and  Nature's  God  entitles  thru;, 
a  decent  respect  to  the  opinions  of  mankind  requires  that  they  should  de- 
clare the  causes  which  impel  them  to  tlie  separation. 

We  hold  these  truths  to  he  self-evident:  that  all  men  are  created  equai ; 
that  they  are  endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  inalienable  rights; 
that  among  tljeso  are  life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness.  That  to 
secure  those  rights,  governments  are  instituted  among  men,  deriving  their 
just  powers  from  the  consent  of  the  governed  :  that  whenever  any  form  of 
government  becomes  destructive  of  these  ends,  it  is  the  right  of  the  people 
to  alter  or  to  abolish  it,  and  to  institute  a  new  government,  laying  its  foun- 
dation on  such  principles,  and  organizing  its  powers  in  such  form  as  ta 
them  shall  seem  most  likely  to  effect,  their  safety  and  happiness.  Prudence, 
indeed, will  dictate  that  governments  long  established  should  not  be  changed 
for  light  and  transient  causes;  and  accordingly  all  experience  hath  shown, 
that  mankind  are  more  disposed  to  suffer,  while  evils  are  sufferable,  than 
to  right  themselves,  by  abolishing  the  forms  to  which  they  are  accustomed. 
But  when  a  long  train  of  abuses  and  usurpations,  pursuing  invariably  tho 
same  object,  evinces  a  design  to  reduce  them  under  absolute  despotism,  it 
is  their  right,  it  is  their  duty,  to  throw  off  such  government,  and  to  provide 
new  guards  for  their  future  security.  Such  has  been  the  patient  sufferanco 
of  these  colonies,  and  such  is  now  the  necessity  which  constrains  them  to 
alter  their  former  systems  of  government.  Tho  history  of  the  present  king 
of  Great  Britain  is  a-  history  of  repeated  injuries  and  usurpations,  all  having 
in  direct  object  the  establishment  of  an  absolute  tyrnnny'over  these  States. 
To  prove  this,  let  facts  be  submitted  to  a  candid  world: 

lie  has  refused  his  assent  to  laws  the  most  wholesome  and  necessary  for 
the  public  good. 

He  has  forbidden  his  governors  to  pass  laws  of  immediate  and  pressing 
importance,  unless  suspended  in  their  operation  till  his  assent  should  ba 
obtained;  and  when  so  suspended,  ho  has  utterly  neglected  to  attend  to 
them.  He  has  refused  to  pass  other  laws  for  the  accommodation  of  largo 
districts  of  people,  unless  those  people  would  relinquish  tlio  riLrlit  of  repre- 
sentation in  the  legislature — a  right  inestimable  to  them,  and  formidable  to 
tyrants  only. 

lie  has  called  together  legislative  bodies  at  places  unusual,  uncomfort- 
able, and  distant  from  the  repository  of  the  public  records,  for  tho  sole 
purpose  of  fatiguing  them  into  compliance  with  his  measures. 

He  has  dissolved  representative  houses  repeatedly  for  opposing,  with 
manly  firmness,  his  invasions  on  tho  rights  of  the  people. 

He  has  refused  for  a  long  time  after  such  dissolution  to  cause  others  to 
be  elected;  whereby  tho  legislative  powers,  incapable  of  annihilation.  hav« 
returned  to_  the  people  at  large  for  their  exercise,  the  State  remaining,  in 
the  mean  time,  exposed  to  all  the  dangers  of  invasion  from  without  and 
convulsions  within. 

He  has  endeavored  to  prevent  the  population  of  these  States ;  for  that 
purpose  obstructing  the  laws  of  naturalization  of  foreigners:  refusing  to 
pass  others  to  encourage  their  migration  hither,  and  raising  the  conditions 
of  new  appropriations ^>f  lands. 

He  has  obstructed  tha  administration  of  justice  by  refusing  his  assent  to 
laws  for  establishing  judiciary  powers. 

He  has  made  judsres  dependent  on  his  will  alone  for  tho  tenure  of  their 
offices  and  the  amount  and  payment  of  their  salaries, 

He  has  erected  a  multitude  of  new  offices,  and  sent  hither  swarms  of 
officers  to  harass  our  people,  and  cat  out  their  substance. 

He  has  kept  among  us.  in  times  of  peace,  standing  armies,  Ivithout  the 
consent  of  our  legislatnres. 

He  has  affected  to  render  the  military  independent  of  and  superior  to 
the  civil  power. 


434          DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE 

He  has  combined  with  others  to  subject  ns  to  a  jurisdiction  foreign  to 
omr  Constitution,  and  unacknowledged  by  oui'lawsj  giving  his  assent  to 
their  acts  of  pretended  legislation: 

For  quartering  large  bodies  of  armed  troops  among  ns: 

For  protecting  them  by  a  mock  trial  from  pniiishment  for  any  murders 
which  they  should  commit  on  the  inhabitants  of  these  States: 

For  cutting  off  our  trade  with  all  parts  of  the  world: 

For  imposing  taxes  on  us  without  our  consent : 

For  depriving  us,  in  many  cases,  of  the  benefits  of  trial  by  jury: 

For  transporting  us  beyond  seas  to  be  tried  for  pretended  offences: 

For  abolishing  the  free  system  of  English  laws  in  a  neighboring  province, 
establishing  therein  an  arbitrary  government,  and  enlarging  its  lu'mu'iiric-p, 
BO  as  to  render  it  at  once  an  example  and  fit  instrument  for  introducing  the 
eame  absolute  rule  into  these  colonies: 

For  taking  away  our  charters,  abolishing  our  most  valuable  laws,  and 
altering,  fundamentally,  the  forms  of  our  poverjimeiit: 

For  suspending  our  own  legislatures,  and  declaring  themselves  invested 
with  power  to  legislate  for  iw  in  nil  cases  whatsoever. 

lie  has  abdicated  government  here  by  declaring  us  out  of  his  protection, 
and  waging  war  against  us. 

lie  has  plundered  our  seas,  ravaged  our  coasts,  burnt  our  towns,  and 
destroyed  the  lives  of  our  people. 

He  is  at  this  time  transporting  large  armies  of  foreign  mercenaries  to 
complete  the  works  of  death,  desolation,  and  tyranny  already  begun,  with 
circumstances  of  cruelty  and  perfidy  scarcely  paralleled  in  the  most  bar- 
barous ages,  and  totally  unworthy  tlio  Lead  of  a  civilized  nation. 

He  has  constrained  our  fellow-citizens,  taken  captive  on  the  high  seas, 
to  bear  arms  against  their  country,  to  become  the  executioners  of  their 
friends  and  brethren,  or  to  fall  themselves  by  their  hands. 

Ho  has  excited  domestic  insurrections  among  us,  and  has  endeavored  to 
bring  on  the  inhabitants  of  onr  frontiers  the  merciless  Indian  savages, 
•whose  known  rule  of  warfare  is  an  undistinguished  destruction  of  all  ages, 
sexes,  and  conditions. 

In  every  staire  of  these  oppressions  we  have  petitioned  for  redress  in 
the  most  humble  terms;  our  repeated  petitions  have  been  answered  only 
by  repeated  injury.  A  prince  whose  character  is  thus  marked  by  every 
act  which  may  define  a  tyrant  is  unfit  to  be  the  ruler  of  a  free  people. 

Nor  have  we  been  wanting  in  attentions  to  our  British  brethren.  "Wo 
have  warned  them,  from  time  to  time,  of  attempts  by  their  legislature  to 
extend  an  unwarrantable  jurisdiction  over  ns.  "We  have  reminded  them 
of  the  circumstances  of  our  emigration  and  settlement  here.  "We  have 
appealed  to  their  native  justice  and  magnanimity,  and  we  have  conjured 
them  by  the  ties  of  onr  common  kindred  to  disavow  these  usurpations, 
which  would  inevitably  interrupt  our  connections  and  correspondence. 
They,  too,  have  been  deaf  to  the  voice  of  justice  and  consanguinity.  "We 
must,  therefore,  acquiesce  in  the  necessity  which  denounces  our  separation, 
and  hold  them,  as  we  hold  the  rest  of  mankind,  enemies  in  war,  in  peace 
friends. 

"We,  therefore,  the  representatives  of  the  United  States  of  America,  in 
General  Congress  assembled,  appealing  to  the  Supreme  Judge  of  the  world 
for  the  rectitude  of  our  intentions,  do,  in  the  name  and  by  the  authority  of 
the  good  people  of  these  colonies,  solemnly  publish  and  declare,  that  these 
United  Colonies  are,  and  of  ricrlit  ought  to  be,  free  and  independent  States; 
that  they  are  absolved  from  all  allegiance  to  the  British  crown,  and  that  all 
political  connection  between  them  and  the  State  of  Great  Britain  is.  nnd 
ought  to  be,  totally  dissolved ;  and  that,  as  free  and  independent  States, 
they  have  full  power  to  levy  war,  conclude  peace,  contract  alliances,  estab- 
lish' commerce,  and  to  do  all  other  acts  and  thin'rs'Vhich  independent  States 
may  of  light  do.  And  for  the  support  of  this  declaration,  with  a  firm 
reliance  on  the  protection  of  Divine  Providence,  we  mutually  pledge  U 
each  other  our  lives,  our  fortunes,  and  our  sacred  honor.

EISTOEY  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  FLAG. 

THE  Idea  of  Standards  originated  with  the  Egyptians,  at  an  early  nge. 
The  Crusaders  added  the  cross  to  their  banners.  The  union  of  the  three 
crosses  of  St.  George,  St.  Andrew,  and  St.  Patrick,  marks,  first  the  union 
of  England  and  Scotland,  into  the  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain;  and  then, 
this  Kingdom  with  Ireland.  This  is  termed  the  Great  Union  Flag  of  Great 
Britain,  and  was  brought  by  the  colonists  to  America.  When  the  thirteen 
colonies  began  to  feel  the  pressure  of  British  rule.  1  hey  placed  upon  their 
banners  a  rattlesnake,  cut  in  thirteen  pieces,  representing  the  thirteen 
colonies,  witli  the  motto,  "Join,  or  die.''  When  these  colonies  became  more 
united  in  their  purposes  of  resistance  to  British  tyranny,  they  placed  upon 
their  flag  a  well-formed  rattlesnake,  in.  the  attitude  of  about  to  strike,  with 
the  motto,  "Don't  tread  on  me." 

Dr.  Franklin,  seeing  this  emblem  on  one  of  the  drums  of  that  day,  writes 
as  follows:  "On  inquiry,  and  from  study,  I  learned  that  the  ancients  con- 
sidered the  serpent  an  emblem  of  wisdom ;  and,  in  some  attitudes,  of  endless 
duration.  Also,  that  countries  are  often  represented  by  animals  peculiar 
to  that  couuU-y.  TIio  rattlesnake  is  found  uuwLere  but  iu  America.  He!

eye  la  exceedingly  bright,  and  without  eyelids,—  emblem  of  vigilance.  She 
never  begins  an  attack,  and  she  never  surrenders,  —  emblem  of  magnanimity 
and  courage.  She  never  wounds  even  her  enemies,  till  she  generously  gives 
them  warning  not  to  tread  on  her.  —  which  is  emblematical  of  the  spirit  of 
the  people  who  inhabit  her  country.  She  appears  apparently  weak  and 
defenceless,  but  her  weapons  are  nevertheless  formidable.  Her  poison  is 
the  necessary  means  for  the  digestion  of  her  food,  but  certain  destruction 
to  her  enemies.  —  showing  the  power  of  American  resources.  Her  thirteen 
rattles,  the  only  part  which  increases  in  number,  are  distinct  from  each 
other,  and  yet  so  united  that  they  can  not  be  disconnected  without  breaking 
them  to  pieces,  —  showing  the  impossibility  of  an  American  Republic  with- 
out a  Union  of  States.  A  single  rattle  will  give  no  sound  alone,  but  the 
ringing  of  the  thirteen  together  is  sufficient  to  startle  the  boldest  man 
alive.  She  is  beautiful  in  youth,  which  increaseth  with  her  age.  Her 
tongue  is  forked,  as  the  lightning;  and  her  abode  is  among  the  impen- 
etrable rocks." 


The  next  form  of  the  United  States  Flag  was  the  Stars  and  Stripes.  Its 
proportions  are  perfect,  when  properly  made, —  the  first  and  last  stripe 
oeiug  red,  with  alternate  stripes  of  white.  The  blue  field,  for  the  stars,  is 
the  square  of  the  width  of  seven  stripes. 

On  the  14th  of  June,  1777,  the  Continental  Congress  resolved,  "that  the 
flag  of  the  United  States  be  thirteen  stripes,  alternate  red  and  white,  and 
that  the  Union  be  thirteen  white  stars  on  a  blue  field,  representing  a  new 
Constellation."  Previous  to  this,  our  national  banner  was  the  Union  flag, 
combining  the  crosses  of  St.  George  and  St.  Andrew. 

The  Stars  and  Stripes  were  unfurled,  for  the  first  time,  at  the  battle  of 
Saratoga,  on  the  occasion  of  the  surrender  of  General  Burgoyne. 

The  Stars  of  the  flag  represent  the  idea  taken  from  the  Constellation 
Lyra,  which  signifies  harmony.  The  blue  of  the  field  was  taken  from  the 
banner  of  the  Covenanters  of  Scotland,  likewise  significant  of  the  league 
and  covenant  of  the  United  Colonies  against  oppression,  and  incidentally 
involving  vigilance,  perseverance,  and  justice.  The  stars  were  disposed 
in  a  circle,  svmbolizing  the  perpetuity  of  the  Union,  the  circle  being  the 
sign  of  eternity.  Bo'.h  the  thirteen  stripes  and  the  stars  showed  the  num- 
ber of  the  United  Colonies,  and  denoted  the  subordination  of  the  States  to, 
and  their  dependence  upon,  the  Union,  as  well  as  equality  among  them- 
selves. '  The  whole  was  a  blending  of  the  previous  banners,  namely,  the 
red  flag  of  the  army  and  white  one  of  the  navy.  The  red  color,  which  in 
the  days  of  Roman  glory  was  the  signal  of  defiance,  denoted  daring,  and 
the  white  purity. 

On  the  13th  (if  January,  1794,  by  en  act  of  Congress,  the  flag  was  altered 
to  fifteen  red  and  white  stripes,  and  fifteen  stars.  On  the  4th  of  April.  1S19, 
Congress  again  altered  the  flag  by  r;  turning  to  the  original  thirteen  stripes 
and  fifteen  stars,  as  the  adding  of  a  new  stripe  for  each  additional  State 
wonld  soon  make  the  flag  too  unwieldy.  The  new  star  is  added  to  the  flag 
(iq  vhe  4i.ii  of  July  following  the  admission  of  each  State  into  the  Union.

454  PUBLIO   LANDS   OP   THE   UNITED   STATES. 

PUBLIC  LANDS  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

TITE  public  lands  of  the  United  States  -which  arc  still  undisposed  of  and 
open  to  settlement  lie  in  nineteen  States  and  eight  Territories.  In  each 
case, — except  Oiiio,  Indiana,  and  Illinois, —  hind  offices  are  established,  in 
charge  of  an  officer  known  as  Register  of  the  Laud  Office,  where  the  records 
of  sllsurveyed  lands  are  kept,  and  all  applications  concerning  lands  in  e;icli 
district  are  filed  and  inquiries  answered.  The  public  lands  are  divided  into 
two  great  classes.  The  one  class  has  a  dollar  and  a  quarter  an  acre  desig- 
nated as  the  minimum  price,  and  the  other  two  dollars  and  a  half  an  acre. 
Titles  to  these  lauds  may  bo  acquired  by  private  entry  or  location  under 
the  homestead,  pre-emption,  and  timber-culture  laws;  or.  as  to  some  classes, 
by  purchase  for  cash,  in  the  case  of  lands  which  may  be  purchased  at  pri- 
vate sale,  or  such  as  have  not  been  reserved  under  any  law.  Such  tracts 
are  sold  on  application  to  the  Land  Register,  who  issues  a  certificate  of  pur- 
chase, the  Receiver  giving  a  receipt  for  the  money  paid,  subject  to  the  issue 
of  a  patent,  or  complete  title,  if  the  proceedings  are  found  regular,  by  the 
Commissioner  of  the  General  Laud  Office  at  Washington. 

Entries  und<;r  land  warrants  (given  mostly  for  military  services,  under 
acts  of  Congress,)  have  fallen  oft  very  largely  by  the  absorption  of  such 
•warrants,  tliere  having  been  110  military  bounty  land  warrants  provided  for 
on  account  of  services  in  the  late  civil  war. 

Entries  under  the  pre-emption  law  are  restricted  to  heads  of  families,  or 
citizens  over  twenty-one,  who  may  settle  upon  any  quarter-section  (or  160 
acres),  and  have  the  right  of  prior  claim  to  purchase,  on  complying  with 
certain  regulations. 

The  homestead  laws  give  the  right  to  one  hundred  and  sixty  acres  of  a1 
dollar  and  a  quarter  lands,  or  to  eighty  acres  of  two  dollar  and  a  half  lands,  | 
to  any  citizen  orapplicant  for  citizenship  over  twenty -one  who  will  actually, 
settle  upon  and  cultivate  the  land.  This  privilege  extends  only  to  the  aur-' 
veyed  lands,  and  the  title  is  perfected  by  the  issue  of  a  patent  after  five 
years  of  actual  settlement.  The  only  charges  in  the  case  of  homestead 
entiles  are  fees  and  commissions,  varying  from  a  minimum  of  $7  to  a  max- 
imum of  $22  for  the  whole  tract  entered,  according  to  the  size,  value,  or 
place  of  record. 

Another  large  class  of  free  entries  of  public  lands  is  that  provided  for 
under  the  timber-culture  acts  of  1873-78.  The  purpose  of  these  laws  is  to 
promote  the  growth  of  forest  trees  on  the  public  hinds.  They  give  the  light 
to  any  settler  who  has  cultivated  for  two  years  as  much  as  five  acres  in 
trees,  to  an  eighty-acre  homestead ;  or  if  ten  acres,  to  a  homestead  of  one 
hundred  and  sixty  acres;  and  a  free  patent  for  his  land  is  given  him  at  the 
end  of  three  years,  instead  of  five.  The  limitation  of  thenomestead  laws 
to  one  hundred  and  sixty  acres  for  each  settler  is  extended  in  the  case  of 
timber-culture,  so  as  to  grant  as  many  quarter-sections  of  one  hundred  and 
sixty  acres  each  as  have  been  improved  by  the  culture  for  ten  years  of  forty 
acres  of  timber  thereon,  but  the  quarter-sections  must  not  lie" immediately 
contiguous.  The  following  is  the  complete  list  of  United  States  laud 
offices: —

FREE  HOMESTEADS  ON  THE  PUBLIC  LANDS. 

THE  fact  is  not  so  widely  known  as  it  should  be,  that  any  one  willing  to 
vork  ean  secure  a  farm  on  the  public  domain  of  the  United  States,  free  of 
cost. 

By  our  present  laws,  any  citizen  or  applicant  for  citizenship,  over 
twenty-one  years  of  age,  may  enter  one  quarter-section  (that  is,  ICO  acres) 
of  any  unappropriated  public  lauds,  which  are  subject  to  pre-emption  at 


each  person  availing  himself  or  herself  of  its  benefits  must  mako  affidavit 
before  the  Register  of  the  Land  Office  of  the  district  in  which  the  entry  is 
to  be  made,  that  he  or  she  is  the  head  of  a  family,  or  else  twenty-one  years 
of  age.  The  affidavit  must  also  set  forth  that  the  land  entered  is  for  the 
exclusive  use  and  benefit  of  the  applicant,  and  for  the  purpose  of  nctual 
settlement  and  cultivation,  and  not  either  directly  or  indirectly  for  the  uso 
or  benefit  of  any  other  person. 

The  applicant  under  the  Homestead  Law  must  pay  the  sum  of  ten  dollars 
en  filing  his  affidavit  with  the  Register,  and  is  thereupon  permitted  to  enter 
the  160  acres,  or  £0  acres  on  payment  of  five  dollars,  as  the  case  may  be. 
But  no  certificate  is  given  or  patent  issued  for  the  land  until  the  expiration 
ef  five  years  from  the  date  of  the  entry  above  provided  for.  If,  at  the  ex- 
piration of  five  years,  or  at  any  time  within  two  years  thereafter,  the  person 
making  such  entry,  or  his  direct  heirs,  shall  prove  by  two  credible  witnesses 
that  he,  she,  or  they  have  resided  upon  and  cultivated  the  land  for  five 
years  immediately  following  the  date  of  its  original  entry,  and  shall  rnake 
affidavit  that  nc  part  of  the  land  has  been  alienated,  then  the  settler  is  en- 
tied  to  the  issue  of  a  patent  for  the  land,  without  further  delay.  Q'his  patent 
is  a  valid  title  from  the  United  States;  and  those  who  have  earned  it  by 
actual  residence  and  cultivation  of  the  land  during  the  full  term  of  five 
years  have  nothing  to  pay,  except  the  original  ten  dollars  for  ICO  acres,  or 
five  dollars  for  an  80-acre  homestead.  Any  one  who  chooses  to  complete 
Ilia  title  before  the  expiration  of  the  five  years,  with  a  view  to  sell  or  re- 
move, can  do  so  only  by  payment  to  the  United  States  of  the  valuation-price 
of  the  hind,  at  $1.25  or  $2.50  per  acre,  as  the  case  may  be.  But  he  has  at  all 
times  the  prior  riuht  to  do  this,  and  so  become  full  owner  of  the  land  he 
Las  settled,  as  ngaiiiat  any  other  person. 

There  is  a  proviso  in  the  law  that  no  lands  acquired  under  the  provisions 
of  the  Homestead  Act  shall  be  liable  for  any  debts  of  the  settler,  contracted 
prior  to  the  issuing  of  the  patent  for  his  homestead. 

There  is  another  proviso,  intended  to  guard  the  interests  of  the  Govern- 
ment, and  compel  all  pre.emptors  of  public  lauds  to  act  in  good  faith,  whirb 


THE  CANALS  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES,  ETC. 


declares  that  if,  at  any  time  after  the  filing  of  the  required  affidavit,  and 
before  the  expiration  of  the  five  years'  probationary  residence,  the  pre- 
cmptor  shall  change  his  residence,  or  abandon  the  land  for  more  than  six 
months  at  any  time,  then  the  land  shall  revert  to  the  United  States  Gov- 
ernment. Xo  individual  is  permitted  to  acquire  more  than  ICO  acres  under 
the  provisions  of  the  llomesteatl  Act;  but  there  is  no  limit  to  the  quantity 
of  land  which  may  be  purchased  by  individuals.  All  existing  pre-emption 
rights  arc  maintained  unimpaired  by  the  provisions  of  the  act. 

The  five  years'  residence  required  of  all  other  settlers  under  the  Home- 
•tead  Law  is  waived  in  favor  of  nil  soldiers  or  sailors  who  served  imi>  t.v 
days  or  longer  in  the  United  States  army  or  navy  during  the  war  of  18C1-C5, 
nnd  were  honorably  discharged.  Every  such  soldier  (or  his  widow,  or  chil- 
dren, ia  case  of  his  decease.)  is  entitled  to  free  entry  of  ICO  acres  of  the' 
public  lauds  on  condition  of  actual  residence  and  cultivation  of  the  sauio

OCCUPATIONS  OF  THE  PEOPLE  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

THE  tables  of  the  census  of  1870  exhibit  interesting  statistics  on  the 
employments  which  divide  the  industry  of  our  people.  The  population  of 
the  United  States  over  ten  years  of  age  was  shown  to  amount  to  28,225,945, 
of  which  number  14,258,866  were  males.  There  were  returned  as  engaged 
in  all  classes  of  occupations  a  total  of  12,505,923,  of  which  number  10.CG9.635 
were  males,  and  l,S>o,288  females.  In  the  census  of  occupations  it  will  be 
seen  that  by  far  the  greater  number  of  inhabitants  over  ten  years  of  age 
were  returned  as  engaged  in  some  class  of  labor.  Grouping  the  results  of 
the  more  detailed  table  of  diversified  occupations,  it  is  shown  that  they 
were  distributed  in  the  following  four  great  classeo  of  occupations, 
namely  :— 

Engaged  in  A  gricultnre 5,922,471 

Engaged  in  Manufactures  and  Mechanical  and  Mining  Industries,  2,707,421 

Engaged  in  Professional  and  Personal  Services 2,084,793 

Engaged  in  Trade  and  Transportation 1,191,238 

Total 12,505,923 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  pursuits  of  agriculture  occupy  40.31  per  cent,  or 
something  less  than  half  the  population;  manufacturing  industries,  21.64 
per  cent  of  all  classes  of  occupations;  professional  and  personal  services, 
21.46  per  cent;  and  trade  and  transportation  9.53  pur  cent  of  the  whole,  Of 
less  than  one  tenth.

AMERICAN  PETROLEUM. 

Twenty  years  ago  this  article  was  little  known.  The  first  artificial  -well 
•was  snnk  in  August,  1859.  Now  there  is  an  annual  production  in  this 
country  of  about  15,000,000  barrels  (600,000.000  gallons),  and  from  S40,000,00i 
to  $60,000,000  worth  is  exported  to  other  countries  annually, —  our  export* 
ranging  in  importance,  according  to  valuation — first,  cotton;  second,  flour 
and  grain;  third,  hog  products  (lard,  hams,  and  salt  pork);  and  fourth,  pe- 
tnoleiiin.  -There  are  more  41  tan  10.000  oil-wells  flowing  or  being  sunk,  and 
probably  over  810.000.000  invested  In  the  business,  in  one  way  and  another. 
Fifteen  million  barrels  (forty  gallons  to  a  barrel)  of  this  oil  would  fill 
9,600,000.000  lamps  holding  half  a  pint  each,  or  about  seven  such  lamps  for 
every  man,  woman,  and  child  on  our  globe.  All  this  has  come  to  light,  from 
the  bowels  of  the  earth,  in  less  than  twenty  years,  during  which  time  we 
have  not  onlv  used  all  the  petrolr-nm  we  have  wanted  ourselves,  but  have 
?eut  to  other  lands  nearly  $500,000,000  worth,  at  the  custom-house  valuation.

472  EVOLVENT  AND  ASSIGNMENT  LAWS. 

INSOLVENT,  ASSIGNMENT,  AND  HOMESTEAD  LAWS  OF  THE 
DIFFERENT  STATES  OF  THE  UNION. 

Srs'CE  the  repeal  of  the  United  States  Bankrupt  Law,  tho  laws  of  the 
different  States  respecting  insolvency,  assignments  for  the  benefit  of  cred- 
itors, exemptions  of  property  from  liability  for  debts,  and  attachments  of 
property  upon  niesne  process  have  become  of  general  interest.  A  abort 
epitome  of  them  is  here  presented.  The  following  are  some  of  the  general 
rules  governing  these  matters:  A  discharge  in  insolvency  does  not  affect 
the  rights  of  u  creditor  who  is  not  within  the  Jurisdiction  ot  the  State  when) 
the  discharge  is  granted,  and  does  not  submit  himself  to  thiit  jnri>dicrion 
by  proving  his  claim  against  the  estate  of  the  debtor.  In  the  absence  of 
statutes,  assignments  01  property  for  the  benefit  of  creditors  are  valid,  even 
though  they  provide  for  preferences,  and  for  the  release  of  tbe  debtor  by 
creditors  taking  the  benefit,  of  them.  An  involuntary  assignment,  under 
the  laws  of  one  State,  of  choses  iii  action  and  other  property,  in  another,  is 
cot  good  against  attaching  creditors  in  the  second  State.  A  voluntary 
assignment  will  not  prevail  against  a  prior  attachment,  nor  against  a  sub- 
sequent attachment,  unless  the  assignment  is  valid  under,  and  executed 
•with  the  formalities  required  by,  the  laws  of  the  State  where  the  property 
is  attached. 

ALABAMA. — "So  insolvent  law.  Assignments  regnlated  by  statuta, 
tvhich  forbids  preferences,  or  any  provision  for  the  release  of  the  debter.

country,  or  lot  and  dwelling  to  value  of  $2000  ia  city.  Personal  Pr  jp*t/

ARIZONA. — No  insolvent  or  assignment  law.  Attachments  issue  in  no- 
tions upon  contract  for  direct  payment  of  money  wliere  plaintiff  has  no  se- 
curity, or  when  defendant  is  a  non-resident,  <tc.  The  plaintiff  must  givo

WEIGHTS    AND    MEASURES. 


WEIGHTS  AETD  MEASURES  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  A1TD 
'    OTHEE  COTJNTEIES. 

Congress  adopted  the  decimal  system  in  tlie  subdivision  of  moneys.  In 
1836  a  law  was  passed  for  regulating  the  Weights  and  Measures  of  the 
Union,  by  which  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  was  directed  to  supply 
standards  of  weights,  of  length,  and  of  capacity,  according  to  the  standards 
of  Great  Britain,  to  the  Governors  of  States  and  revenue-collectors.  Mr. 
John  Quiucy  Adams  had  reported,  in  1821,  in  favor  of  the  British  standards, 
because  they  were  in  general  use,  and  a  change  to  the  decimal  principle,  as 
had  been  effected  in  France,  would  be  attended  with  great  embarrassment. 
The  measure  of  time  and  circular  motion  is  the  same  iu  America  and  Eu- 
rope. The  Troy  weight  of  England  was  adopted  iu  the  United  States  for 
•weighing  coin  aud  bullion.  Our  apothecaries  compound  their  medicines  by 
the  Troy  pound  aud  a  subdivision  of  their  own.  The  Avoirduimis  weight 
used  in  England  is  also  our  legal  standard  for  weighing  all  other  articles 
bought  or  sold  by  weight.  The  British  and  the  United  Stales  statute  acre, 
sq.  yard,  sq.  foot,  and  sq.  inch,  and  the  mile,  yard,  foot,  and  inch  are  the 
same. 

Congress  retains  the  old  English  wino  gallon  as  a  measure  for  liquids, 
and  the  Winchester  bushel  fur  grain,  &c.,  but  England  has  abandoned  both, 
and  substituted  what  she  terms  the  imperial  measure,  whether  for  wines, 
beer,  other  liquids,  or  dry  goods  sold  by  measure.  Her  imperial  gallon  is 
exactly  1  l-5tb  of  ourwiue  gallon,  and  measures  277,274  solid  incurs:  our 
"Winchester  gallon,  abandoned  by  her,  measuring  2G8.8,  or  about  t?J  cubic 
inches  less;  her  new  bushel  is  equal  to  1.032  of  ours.  Heaped  measure  was 
abolished  by  law  in  Scotland  two  hundred  years  ago,  though  not  always  in 
practice.  McCuIloch  calls  it  a  barbarous  custom.  England  recognizes  it 
in  recent  laws,  and  the  United  States  have  sometimes  ordered  duties  to  be 
collected  by  it. 

(U.  S.)  TitOY  WEICUT. — 04  grains  make  1  pennyweight ;  20  pennyweights, 
1  ounce;  12  ounces,  1  pound,  lib  Troy  is  to  lib  Avoirdupois  as  144  is  to 
175;  or,  5,760  grains  make  Itts  Troy,  ami  7,000  grains  lift  Avoirdupois. 

(U.  S.)  AvoiKDL'l'Ols  WEIGHT.— '[I  drachm,  cr  27  11-32  grains,  equsl  1.7712 
grammes];  16  drachms  make  1  ounce  [equal  to  CS-SpOS  grammes  ];  1C  ounces^ 
1  pound;  28  pounds,  1  quarter;  4  quarters,  1  hundred  weight;  20  hundred 
•weight,  or  2,240  Ibs.,  1  ton. 

In  Philadelphia  and  many  other  places,  2,240  Ibs.  are  generally  considered 
a  ton.  In  the  State  of  New  York,  unless  by  special  bargain.  2.CCO  Ibs.  are  a 
ton.  Sales  by  the  p^Jtind  are  the  most  common ;  nothiug  is  sold  by  the  cwt. 
of  112  Ibs.  In  Avoirdupois,  7  Ibs.  make  1  clove  of  wool,  and  14  Ibs.  1  stone. 
A  pack  of  wool  is  240  Ibs.  In  Ohio,  when  sales  are  made  by  the  bnshel, 
without  a  special  agreement,  the  following  are  the  legal  weights  of  a  bushel: 
"Wheat,  60  Ibs.;  Indian  cern,  56;  barley,  48;  oats,  39;  rye,  56;  flax-seed,  56; 
clover-seed,  64.  Corn  is  usually  sold  'in  the  Western  'States  56  Ibs.  to  the 
bushel.  In  Boston,  53  Ibs.  to  the  bushel  of  Western  corn. 

In  freights,  a  ton  (by  the  rules  of  the  Xew  York  Chamber  of  Commerce) 
is  composed  of  8  barrels  of  flour:  22  bushels  pf  grain,  peas,  or  beans,  in  casks; 
36  bushels  of  grain  in  bulk,  or  European  salt;  31  bushels  W.  I.  salt;  6  bar- 
rels of  beef,  pork,  tallow,  or  pickled  fish ;  200  gallons,  wine  measure,  of  oil, 
wine,  brandy,  or  other  liquors;  29  bushels  of- sea-coal;  40  cubic  feet  of  square 
timber,  oak  plank,  pine,  cotton,  wool,  and  bale  goods;  2,000  Ibs.  of  bar  or 
pig  iron,  ashes,  and  all  other  heavy  goods. 

(U.  S.)  LINEAK  MEASURE.— 3  barleycorns  mnke  1  inch;  12  inches,  1  foot; 
3  feet,  1  yard ;  5J  yards.  1  rod  or  pole;  40  rods,  1  furlong:  8  furlongs,  1  mile.

(U.  S.)  WlXK  MEASURE. — 1  gills  make  1  pint;  2  pints,  1  quart;  4  quarts, 

1  gallon;  31  i  gallons,  1  barrel;  03  gallons,  1  hogshead;  2  hogsheads,  1  pipe; 

2  pipes,  1  ton. 

(U.  S.)  I)!IY,  ore  "WINCHESTER  MEASURE.  —  4  gills,  1  pint  =  33.6  cnbio 
inches  =  0.55053  Trench  litres;  2  pints,  1  quart  =  67  2-5  cub.  in.  =  1.10106 
litres;  4  quarts,  1  gallon  =  %JG8. 8  cub.  in.  =  4.40424  litres;  2  gallons,  1  peck  = 
537.C  cub.  in.  =  8.80848  litres ;  4  pecks,  1  bushel  =  2150.42  cub.  in.  =  35.23393 
litres;  5  quarters,  1  wey  or  load. 

\  The  "Winchester  bushel  is  16i  inches  -wide  and  8  inches  deep;  it  contains 
2150  2-5  solid  inches,  being  47  1-5  less  than  the  imperial  bushel.  Of  wheat 
the  bushel  is  CO  Ibs.  The  barrel  of  flour  contains  5  Winchester  bu.sbelE, 
and  weighs,  net,  190  Ibs.  The  barrel  of  Indian  corn  contains  3J  bushels. 
The  weight  of  a  gallon  of  molasses  is  usually  11  Ibs.,  but  sometimes  10  or  12- 

BRITISH  IMPERIAL  (XEW)  STANDARD  ^MEASURE,  COMPARED  WITH  WINCHES- 
TER AND  WIXE  MEASURES. —  Our  extensive  dealings  with  England  make  it 
useful  for  business  men  to  have  an  explanation  of  the  difference  between 
the  imperial  measure  for  liquids  and  dry  goods  and  our  Winchester  and 
wine  measures,  which  latter  were  formerly  used  in  England.  It  is  greatly 
to  be  desired  that  uniform  weights,  measures,  and  coins  may  soon  be  used 
all  over  the  world. 

The  English  coal  bushel  was  n  quart  larger  than  onr  Winchester;  bnS 
Belling  coal  by  measure  caused  such  extensive  frauds  that  it  was  abolished. 
It  is  now  sold  in  Great  Britain  by  weight  only. 

By  the  imperial  -standard,  adopted  in  England  in  1825, 1  gill  is  =  to  8.665 
solid  inches;  4  gills  =  1  pint;  2  pints,  1  quart;  4  quarts.  1  gallon,  or  277.274 
solid  inches;  2  gallons,  1  peck;  4  pecks,  1  bushel,  or 2218.192  inches;  4  bush- 
els are  1  coom  ;  2  cooms  (8  bushels),  1  quarter. 

The  quarter  of  wheat  ia  equal  to  the  quarter  of  a  ton  of  2.240  Ibs.  =  560 
Ibs.;  70  Ibs.  in  weight  are  an  English  bushel  of  wheat, while  60  Ibs.  of  wheat 
make  our  bushel;  so  that  the  United  States  wheat  bushel  is  just  6-7ths  of 
the  English,  or  imperial;  and  a  quarter  of  wheat  in  England  is  equal  to 
9J  bushels  in  the  United  States. 

The  United  States  grain  gallon  measures  208.8  solid  inches;  the  wine 
gallon,  231  inches;  the  imperial  measures  277J  in.;  36  of  our  wine  gallons 
are  very  nearly  equal  to  30  imperial  gallons.  The  obsolete  English  ale  and 
beer  gallon  measured  282  cubic  inches. 

The  imperial  standard  gallon  is  a  measure  that  will  hold  10  Ibs.  Avoir- 
dupois of  pure  (distilled)  water,  weighed  in  air  at  G2  deg.  Fahrenheit,  the 
barometer  being  at  30  degrees. 

This  is  the  iinit  standard,  in  Great  Britain,  of  capacity  for  liquids,  ale, 
beer,  wine,  spirits,  and  dry  goods  not  measured  by  heaped  measure.  OUT 
Winchester  gallon  weighs  9  Ibs.  10  oz.  and  1 J  drachms  of  pure  water. 


HOW  INTEREST  INCREASES. 

Very  few  persons  hare  figured  on  the  difference  between  six  nnd  eight 
percent.  One  dollar  loaned  for  one  hundred  years  at  six  per  cent,  with 
the  interest  collected  annually  and  added  to  the  principal,  will  amount  to 
$340.  At  ei;:ht  per  cent  it  amounts  to  $2.203.  or  nearly  seven  times  as  much. 
At  three  percent,  the  usual  rate,  of  interest  in  England,  it  amounts  to  £  19.2."; 
whereas  at  ten  per  cents  which  has  been  a  very  common  rate  in  the  United 
States,  it  is  $13,809,  or  about  seven  hundred  times  ns  much.  At  twelve 
per  cent  it  amounts  to  $84.075.  or  more  than  four  thousand  times  as  much. 
At  eighteen  percent  it  amounts  to  $15.145.007.  At  twenty-four  per  cent 
(which  we  sometimes  hear  talked  of)  it  reaches  the  enormous  sum  of 
$2,551,790,404.

HOW  TO  CONDUCT  PUBLIC  MEETINGS.  547 


BOW  TO  ORGANIZE   AND  CONDUCT  PUB- 
LIC   MEETINGS. 

Every  American  believes  that  it  is  an  inherent  right  in  citi- 
zens to  meet,  organize,  and  then  discuss  any  subject  that  they 
may  deem  fit  to  direct  their  attention  to.  To  conduct  such 
meetings  so  as  to  avoid  confusion,  and  consequent  disturb- 
ance, there  is  an  unwritten  law  which  every  sensible  man  is 
•willing  to  obey,  and  expects  every  other  man  to  bow  to. 
These  rules  are  not  enforced  by  any  statute,  but  are  the  wise 
precedents  worked  out  from  time  to  time  by  our  ancestors 
either  in  the  old  world  or  in  the  new.  The  British  Parliament 
and  the  American  Congress  follow  the  same  rules,  with  such 
slight  deviations  as  the  different  forms  of  government  demand. 
It  matters  not  whether  the  persons  meet  to  form  a  church  or 
elect  a  president,  the  first  requirement  for  success  is  that  all 
should  be  done  decently  and  in  order.  Any  member  can  call 
a  meeting  to  order  by  nominating  a  temporary  chairman,  who, 
if  elected  by  an  unquestioned  majority,  thanks  the  assembly, 
and  asks  what  is  their  further  order.  Some  one  rises,  and 
nominates  a  permanent  chairman.  Upon  his  election,  the  tem- 
porary chairman  welcomes  his  successor  to  his  seat.  The 
chairman  then  addresses  the  meeting,  thanking  them  in  a 
speech,  brief  and  to  the  purpose.  Ho  man  should  accept  this 
position  unless  he  is  at  least  tolerably  versed  in  the  duties  of 
his  office.  He  should  be  sure  in  his  decisions  on  points  of 
order,  and  firmly  maintain  his  findings  as  suavely  as  possible, 
but  maintain  them  at  all  hazards.  The  meeting  can  now 
either  vote  for  a  secretary  or  direct  the  chair  to  select  a  proper 
person.  The  officers,  having  now  the  management  of  the 
meeting,  proceed  to  business  in  the  following  order:  The  ob- 
ject of  the  meeting  is  stated;  resolutions  are  to  be  handed  in; 
votes  taken  on  all  motions  duly  seconded,  and  result  stated; 
members  debating  questions  to  be  kept  in  order;  to  receive 
communications,  and  have  them  read  aloud;  unless  the  meet- 
ing does  so,  it  is  for  the  chair  to  name  committees;  and  gener- 
ally to  act  ae  the  personification  of  the  good  sense  of  the  as- 
sembly. 

The  secretary  records  all  transactions  at  chairman's  desire; 
reads  all  papers;  calls  roll  of  members;  reads  record  of  pre- 
vious meetings;  calls  the  "yeaa"  and  "nays;"  notifies  com- 
mittees, and  gives  them  needed  papers;  authenticates,  at  bid. 
ding  of  chair,  all  official  papers;  attends  to  correspondence, 
and  makes  reports. 

A  meeting  is  initiated  by  two  or  more  people  addressing  a 


648  HOW  TO  OEGANIZB  PUBLIC  MEETINGS. 

circular,  or  by  advertisement,  stating  object  and  asking  attend- 
ance of  all  interested,  at  certain  place  and  date. 

At  the  hour  appointed  the  meeting  is  organized  in  the  man. 
ner  already  described.  "When  a  motion  is  made  and  seconded, 
debate  is  then  in  order.  Usually  the  one  presenting  the  reso- 
lution speaks,  explaining  its  object.  The  chairman  will  then 
give  the  floor  to  the  first  person  who  rises  and  catches  his  eye. 
In  the  first  two  or  three  speeches  the  speakers  may  be  allowed 
a  little  latitude  ;  but  it  is  well,  as  soon  as  possible,  to  keep 
them  in  the  traces,  and  confute  the  debate  pretty  close  to  the 
matter  in  hand.  Always  have  a  written  resolution  before  the 
meeting,  so  that  everything  may  proceed  ship-shape.  The 
chairman  should  scan  the  whole  house,  so  that  he  may  give 
every  one  a  cliance  to  attract  his  eye,  whether  the  persons  are 
near  the  platform  or  at  a  distance.  In  this,  as  in  every  other 
action  of  life,  the  true  rule  is  to  do  as  you  would  like  to  be 
done  by.  But  it  is  not  only  the  chairman  who  has  duties. 
The  audience  has  much  to  do  with  keeping  order.  After  you 
have  appointed  a  presiding  officer,  do  not  attempt  to  do  his 
duty  for  him,  by  shouting  "order,"  "order,"  and  thus  mak- 
ing confusion  worse  confounded.  "Where  would  a  regiment 
be  if  every  private  was  to  give  the  word  of  command  ?  When 
a  person  has  the  floor  and  proceeds  to  speak,  it  is  to  be  remem- 
bered that  no  one  has  a  right  to  interrupt  him,  but  by 
appealing  to  the  chair,  and  asking  that  the  speaker  be  called 
to  order.  On  the  other  hand,  no  speaker  is  justified  in  making 
personal  allusion  to  or  questioning  the  motives  of  any  other 
person  in  the  meeting.  Should  any  person  so  offend,  the 
chairman  owes  it  to  the  dignity  of  the  assemblage  to  instantly 
call  the  offender  to  order,  and  insist  that  he  be  obeyed. 

A  caucus  is  an  assemblage  of  members  of  any  political 
party  to  adopt  a  course  of  action,  or  nominate  a  person  for  a 
certain  office.  The  proceedings,  with  slight  variations,  as  in 
the  meeting  already  described. 

Political  conventions  are  composed  of  persons  elected  by 
their  party  to  nominate  suitable  persons  to  represent  such 
party. 

Almost  every  class  of  persons,  religious,  scientific,  etc.,  hold 
conventions,  and  the  same  rules  apply  to  them  all,  with  minor 
changes,  that  speak  for  themselves. 

Resolutions  may  be  presented  either  spoken  or  written — the 
latter  way  is  preferable.  Simple  motions  are  usually  spoken, 
as  "  Mr.  Chairman,  I  move  that  we  take  a  recess  for  half  an. 
hour,"  or  any  similar  motion.  A  resolution  duly  offered, 
seconded  and  spoken  to,  can  only  be  withdrawn  by  leave  of 
the  meeting.  If  during  the  debate  a  motion  to  adjourn  is 
carried,  the  resolution  goes  into  the  unfinished  business  de- 


HOW  TO  OKGAIOZE  PUBLIC  MEETINGS.  549 

partment,  and  can  only  be  further  acted  upon  when  it  comes 
up  in  due  course  at  a  following  meeting. 

Amendments  may  be  proposed  to  add  to  the  resolution,  to 
explain  or  to  alter.  Amendments  cannot  be  introduced  to 
suit  a  whim  ;  they  must  have  a  plain  bearing  on  the  matter  of 
the  resolution.  The  limit  is  reached  at  the  second  amend- 
ment or  third  proposition.  An  amendment  can  be  offered  to 
strike  out  some  terms  and  insert  others.  No  proposition  once 
rejected  can  be  offered  again  in  different  words. 

Division  may  mean  to  divide  on  a  vote,  or  to  divide  a  ques- 
tion into  two  or  more  parts.  A  vote  on  a  question  being 
given,  the  chairman  says:  "The  ayes  have  it,"  or  "tho 
noes  have  it. "  Any  person  can  then  call  for  a  count.  The 
meeting  itself  decides  what  number  can  demand  the  yeas  and 
nays.  A  bare  majoritypf  both  Houses  of  Congress  make  a 
quorum  for  business.  When  appeal  is  taken  from  ruling  of 
chairman,  if  it  is  seconded,  it  may  be  debated.  The  chair- 
man and  any  member  may  speak  once  on  the  subject.  A 
second  appeal  cannot  be  made  until  the  first  13  settled.  The 
chairman  may  call  any  one  to  preside,  and  go  upon  the  floor 
to  speak ;  but  this  is  only  done  on  important  matters.  No 
person  has  a  right  to  speak  twice  on  the  same  subject. 

Privileged  questions  are  the  motion  to  adjourn,  the  notion  to 
lie  on  the  table,  and  the  motion  for  the  previous  question,  and 
the  motion  to  postpone. 

Motions  to  reconsider  are  usually  regulated  by  the  sense  of 
the  meeting. 

In  legislative  bodies  the  house  is  sometimes  formed  into  tha 
Committee  of  ttie  Whole,  when  much  latitude  is  given  to  debate, 
formality  is  less  observed,  and  bills  are  got  into  shape. 

During  a  discussion  any  person  may  raise  the  point,  "no 
quorum  present,"  and  a  call  of  the  house  follows.  No  mem- 
ber can  come  in,  or  leave,  until  the  roll  is  called  and  the  ques- 
tion decided. 

"  Xo  more  business  before  the  meeting,"  says  the  chairman, 
and  the  motion  to  simply  adjourn,  or  to  adjourn  sine  die,  must 
l)e  at  once  decided,  without  discussion.  The  announcement 
must  be  formally  made  by  tho  chairman,  and  that  closes  the 
meeting.

A  FARMER'S  CLUB. 

In  a  Fanner's  Club,  which  has  for  its  object  social  inter- 
coure  and  the  acquisition  of  knowledge,  there  need  be  few 
arbitrary  rules  of  order  enforced,  but,  instead,  the  discussions 
maybe  more  or  less  conversational.  But,  as  all  business  is 
facilitated  by  good  regulations,  the  officers  of  the  club  ought 
to  be  armed  with  by-laws,  and  empowered  to  enforce  their 
provisions  whenever  necessary. 

CONSTITUTION. 

ART.  1.— This  association  shall  be  known  as  the  Castana 
Farmer's  Club.  Its  object  shall  be  to  promote  a  knowledge

the  community,  in  connection  with  social  enjoyments  by  the 
members  and  their  families. 

ART.  2. — The  members  of  the  club  are  those  who  frame  this

Executive  Committee.  The  Secretary  shall  keep  records  of 
transactions,  and  be  custodian  of  the  funds  and  other  property 
of  the  Club,  being  accountable  at  all  times  to  the  Executive 
Committee,  giving  bonds,  if  required,  and  shall  prepare  and 
present  a  full  report  to  the  Club  at  the  annual  meeting.  The 
Executive  Committee,  three  members  of  which  shall  be  a 
quorum,  shall  have  general  charge  of  the  interests  of  the  Club 
and  the  carrying  out  of  its  objects.  It  shall  fill  vacancies 
among  its  officers,  make  rules,  invite  new  members  to  join, 
regulate  expenditures,  manage  exhibitions  or  fairs,  publish 
offers  of  prizes  and  the  awards,  be  responsible  for  the  welfare 
of  the  Club,  and  report  at  the  annual  meeting  through  its 
Clerk. 

ART.  4. — The  meeting  of  the  Club  shall  take  place  on  the 
first  Tuesday  of  each  month  ;  the  meeting  in  January  being 
known  as  the  "Annual  Meeting."

INSURANCE  CLUB. 

It  is  a  wise  practice  In  some  social  organizations,  among  the 
industrial  classes,  to  agree  upon  a  mutual  guaranty  of  help  in 
.cases  of  sickness  and  decease.  A  portion  of  the  Society  dues 
iis  set  apart  as  a  Benefit  Fund,  for  members  who  are  in  need 
'of  assistance  and  support.  One  form  of  benefit  is  presented 
by  a  guaranty  of  the  expenses  of  a  deceased  member's  funeral, 
and  the  form  of  an  insurance  article  to  that  effect,  in  the  By« 
Laws,  may  be  as  follows  : 

SEC.  1.  On  the  decease  of  any  member  of  this  Society  in 
good  standing,  each  member  shall  pay  one  dollar  and  ten  cents 
to  the  Treasurer,  who  shall  pay  one  dollar  of  the  same  to  the 
widow  of  the  deceased  member,  or  the  nearest  relative,  and 
any  member  f  ailing  to  pay  when  notified,  the  same  shall  be 
charged  as  dues  ;  and  no  member  who  shall  be  in  arrears  for 
three  months  will  be  entitled  to  receive  the  above. 

SEC.  2.  All  officers  and  members  of  the  Society  shall  attend 
the  funeral  of  deceased  members,  and  for  non-attendance  the 
officers  shall  be  fined  $1.00,  and  the  members  shall  be  fined 
25  cts.  Officers  shall  wear  at  all  funerals  a  white  rosette,  and 
members  a  white  ribbon,  on  the  left  lappel  of  their  coats.  The 
funeral  arrangements  shall  be  under  the  charge  of  a  marshal, 
appointed  by  the  President  for  that  purpose. 

SEC.  3.  There  shall  be  elected  a  chaplain,  whose  duty  shall 
be  to  attend  the  funerals  of  the  deceased  members,  and  he  may 
adopt  such  services  as  he  shall  think  proper. 

SEC.  4. — No  member  will  lose  his  right  in  the  above  sec 
tions,  except  at  his  own  request,  on  his  taking  his  cards  ;  but 
he  must  keep  at  all  times  his  residence  registered  in  the  books 
of  the  Society,  and  for  neglect  of  so  doing,  or  failure  to  pay 
his  dollar  and  ten  cents,  after  sixty  days'  notice,  his  name  shall 
be  dropped  from  the  roll,  and  he  shall  cease  to  be  a  member  of 
the  Insurance.  The  ten  cents  shall  be  held  to  pay  expenses, 
and  the  Treasurer  shall,  on  the  death  of  a  member,  report  all 
niuuey  collected,  with  the  expense  thereof.

OCCUPATION'S  OF  THE  PEOPLE  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

THE  tables  of  the  census  of  1870  exhibit  interesting  statistics  on  the 
employments  which  divide  the  industry  of  our  people.  The  population  of 
the  United  States  OTer  ten  years  of  age  was  shown  to  amount  to  28,223,943, 
of  which  number  14,258,866  were  males.  There  were  returned  as  engaged 
in  all  classes  of  occupations  a  total  of  12,505,953,  of  which  number  10,669,635 
were  males,  and  1,836,288  females.  In  the  census  of  occupations  it  will  be 
*een  thift  by  far  the  greater  number  of  inhabitants  over  ten  years  of  age 
were  returned  as  engaged  in  some  class  of  labor.  Grouping  the  results  of 
the  more  detailed  table  of  diversified  occupations,  it  is  shown  that  they 
were  distributed  in  the  following  four  great  classes  of  occupation*, 
namely  :— 

Engaged  in  Agriculture 5,922.471 

Engaged  in  Manufactures  and  Mechanical  and  Mining  Industries,  2.707.421 

Engaged  in  Professional  and  Personal  Services 2,68-4,793 

Engaged  in  Trade  and  Transportation 1,191,238 

Total 12,505,923 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  pursuits  of  agriculture  occupy  46.31  per  cent,  or 
something  less  than  half  the  population;  manufactnringpndrustries,  21.64 
per  omit  of  all  classes  of  occupations;  professional  and  personal  Mi-vices, 
91.46  per  cent;  and  trade  and  Iran  sport  a  tioa  9,53  per  cent  of  the  whole,  or 
•MS  thr,T>  one  tenth.
